Ghost works tru IP, but when access tru domain, goes to NGINX

development

Hi folks, new to Linode here.

I managed to install the Ghost blogging platform and it works just fine when I reach it through my IP address, but if I try to reach it through my domain name (dwaconsulting.org), it bypasses Ghost and goes right down to the NGINX server.

I suspect my DNS setup is not quite right, but I have no idea how to fix it.

Help!

TIA

Hey there,

So I don't know much about the Ghost blogging platform specifically, but it could be your server's virtual hosts aren't set to be pointed to the right folder. You might want to adjust the virtual hosts to point to the correct root folder. You can read more about this here:

I hope this helps!

That was it, thanks!

I knew it had to be simple but I don't know anything about NGINX!

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Not a problem! I'm glad I could help!
