OCTOBER 2013 // BY DANIEL HÜSKEN // IN GHOST, TUTORIAL GhostHelp Since the new Blogging-Platform Ghost was released yesterday, there are more and more people who would like to try Ghost, but fail at some points. Even in our Team-Skype-Chat we started a challenge: Who is able to install Ghost without bigger problems? Manuel did it (maybe caused by the system he is using (Mac OS), the challenge-factor against Toscho and this manual) within minutes, while Windows-User have more problems. That’s why I decided to write this post and show up some error sources (at least in Windows), and give you a step-by-step instruction of my the way I took. Just follow the screenshots and do what I did. Most important notes: Software that is installed in the Programs-folder, is subject to particular restrictions (its running in a sandbox). My advice: Do not install Ghost in the Program-folder. Instead take any other folder on your hard drive. Also turning off the User-Account-Control can help. This is my procedure 1. Installing Node.js: Download Node.js: x86 (32-bit) / x64 (64-bit) Install Node.js: I choose the folder H:\webdev\nodejs Install-nodejs-1 Install-nodejs-2 Install-nodejs-3 Install-nodejs-4 Install-nodejs-5 Install-nodejs-6 MultilingualPressPro 2. Installing Ghost Download Ghost: https://en.ghost.org/download/ UnZip Ghost: I choose the folder H:\webdev\ghost Open Windows Command Prompt (Windows-Key+R, enter cmd) Install-Ghost-1 Install-Ghost-2 Install-Ghost-3 Install-Ghost-4 3. Starting Ghost Now you’re ready to run Ghost at 127.0.0.1:2368 in your webbrowser. A (local) account can be signed up at 127.0.0.1:2368/ghost/signup/. The Ghost config.js starts at default the development environment of Ghost. If you want to switch to the production environment, you just have to run „set NODE_ENV=production“ before the „npm start“. Ghost-produktion Tada: Ghost is running ghost-win Bonus: cmd-file instead of tiping each time This small cmd-file does the commands for you, each time you want to start Ghost. (Of course you need to fill it with your own data) 1 2 3 4 H: cd H:\webdev\Ghost set NODE_ENV=production npm start The Ghost config-file config.js is divided in 3 parts: development production testing Those parts are setted up the same. There are the following setting: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 production: { url: your-url, mail: {}, database: { client: sqlite3, connection: { filename: path.join(__dirname, /content/data/ghost.db) }, debug: false }, server: { host: 127.0.0.1, port: 2368 } }, url: The URL with which your blog is accesable. If it is installed local, you would put in 127.0.0.1:2368. If you want to run Ghost on a Server, please enter the URL here. mail: e-Mail settings. For Windows you should configure a SMTP server. This could look like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 mail: { fromaddress: myemail@address, transport: SMTP, options: { service: smtp.google, auth: { user: username@gmail, pass: password } } } database: Set up your choosen database. Also MySQL is possible, but default is SQLite. server: Enter your IP adress and the port, on which Ghost is running. I hope I could help the one or another a little bit.
