Fix: Ghost 2368 port open but site unreachable

Davide Del Signore

Symptom
Ghost is running and listening on port 2368, but the site is not accessible through the browser.

Cause
Firewall restrictions or reverse proxy misconfiguration block external access.

Solution

  1. Confirm Ghost is running on port 2368.
  2. Check firewall rules and allow HTTP/HTTPS traffic.
  3. Ensure Nginx proxies requests to port 2368.

Verify
curl http://127.0.0.1:2368

Expected result:
Ghost responds locally and the site loads via the domain.

Notes
Port 2368 should not be publicly exposed.
