Cannot read property 'config' of undefined

    I’ve seen plenty of useless error messages over my career in IT, but this one really takes the p…

    After recovering my Ghost blog, I was met with the below error

    sudonix@vps:~/domains/content.sudonix.com/public_html$ ghost start

A GhostError occurred.

Message: Ghost was able to start, but errored during boot with: Cannot read property 'config' of undefined

Debug Information:
    OS: Ubuntu, v20.04.3 LTS
    Node Version: v14.18.1
    Ghost Version: 4.22.4
    Ghost-CLI Version: 1.18.0
    Environment: production
    Command: 'ghost start'

Additional log info available in: /home/sudonix/.ghost/logs/ghost-cli-debug-2021-11-22T11_29_19_297Z.log

Try running ghost doctor to check your system for known issues.

    Now let’s be 100% transparent here. This error message means nothing to nobody, isn’t documented anywhere on the Ghost forums, and is as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

    I was ready to throw in the towel and choose another platform, then it suddenly dawned on me that I’m not using the default Casper theme, but Leibling, which of course, is missing. I downloaded this, and extracted it to the themes directory, and lo and behold…

    Something to bear in mind in case you run across the same issue.

    Shame on 👻 for not being more specific around the true origin of this error.

    A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below

    <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe>

    This works first time every time on your site as intended.

    @Panda if you used the Ubuntu PPA, I think this only goes as far as 6.x if I recall correctly.

    @Hari the real issue here is that I don’t think it can be used as a theme for WordPress because of the dependencies it clearly has, including its own Web server.

    My view here is that this is designed to be a complete development environment outside of the WordPress core.

    @veronikya said in mongodb replica set:

    The host’s local dns resolution is not configured. The problem of the host’s hosts being unable to be resolved in docker has been solved. Surprisingly
    Solution:
    Edit the /etc/resovel.conf file
    Add 127.0.0.53

    One immediate issue I can think of here is that editing resolv.conf directly is no longer supported and not recommended (because the changes do not survive a reboot) - unless you install the resolvconf package?

    @Panda I see why - if you check the browser console, there’s an error logged there. This is from one of my VM’s

    image.png

    There is a decision tree that pulls the value of the editor theme from the saved browser settings on each load, but that fails if the theme has never been changed, and the user has the default (in your case, you are using light mode, so it serves “flatly” by default, but the editor itself is never set and returns null

    This below code changes that

    /* If savedTheme is undefined it will return null - based on this, we assume that the user has the default theme selected and never changed it, so we'll need to force that here */ if(!savedTheme) { var savedTheme = "flatly"; }

    If you reload your browser and test again, it should work properly.

    @JAC said in KeepSolid VPN Unlimited DEAL:

    although all are going to have their own flaws one way or another,

    Exactly that - none of them are going to suit every individual purpose. You have to read the reviews, decide what functionality you need, and then make a judgement call for yourself (and your own unique needs).

    There is no “wrong or right”, although I would steer clear of those that do not have a no-logs policy for privacy reasons alone.
