Start/Stop service doesn't work

[stantond]

Starting up the vagrant box, I can't access local.ghost.com on the host. Also:

vagrant@local:~$ sudo start app
start: Job failed to start
vagrant@local:~$ sudo stop app
stop: Unknown instance:

npm start works:

vagrant@local:~$ cd code/Ghost
vagrant@local:~/code/Ghost$ npm start

> ghost@0.8.0 start /home/vagrant/code/Ghost
> node index

• The script is in Ghost-Vagrant/site-modules/ghost/templates/config/app.conf.
• It's started by upstart in Ghost-Vagrant/site-modules/ghost/manifests/upstart.pp.
• upstart is run as part of `Ghost-Vagrant/site-modules/ghost/manifests/init.pp

I'd appreciate some advice on troubleshooting this further.

@stantond , I am facing the same issue and I don't want to configure mail service. Please advise if you have solved this already.

@sreedharbukya sorry, no idea. I gave up and went with ghosted.it - I was running two Ghost instances on a single droplet with Digital Ocean, but only need one of those now, so worked out $5 per month either way.
