Cannot start Ghost

Question

I cannot seem to get ghost to start. I did a clean install of 0.5.5 and am getting a 502 Bad Gateway error when I go to the domain. I tried to start the application manually from ssh and get the following error:

warn:    --minUptime not set. Defaulting to: 1000ms
warn:    --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms
info:    Forever processing file: /home/psoulos/webapps/ghost/ghost/index.js

fs.js:438
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

The error seems to be that forever is not able to open/create the ~/.forever directory.

I've taken a look at your account and the permissions for your home directory weren't correct, as your home directory was owned by the root user, instead of yours. Because of this, new directories couldn't be created.

I've fixed them and it seems that forever is starting and stopping as expected.
