Ghost pretends to be running but isn't and can't be stopped

After installation and the log, that ghost is running, ghost stop doesn’t work:

Looks like this is a permission problem.

Systemd log tells me

Process: 26166 ExecStart=/root/.nvm/versions/node/v6.10.3/bin/node /root/.nvm/versions/node/v6.10.3/bin/ghost run (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Running ghost run directly works, but ghost start fails.

Can be closed, caused by:

1. Having node installed under root only
2. Installed Ghost inside /root

We will add this to the troubleshoot section.

One thing i wonder about this issue. Why does the CLI say that Ghost was successfully started, but in fact it wasn't? I wonder if the error handling for systemd is incomplete.

@kirrg001 so there's a bit of a long story to that - in short it's a bug in systemd itself (like the actual C library) that I ran into
