Ghost server.js not starting

[kichappa]

I cloned cobyism to my GitHub account and connected my app to it. When I deploy the app, I get the following error in heroku logs --tail --app app_name npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! ghost-on-heroku@2.21.0 start: 'node server.js' npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the ghost-on-heroku@2.21.0 start script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Hmm, not much there. Is there more information further up in the logs?

I also can't get the server to start. I recognize this project isn't really actively maintained but some help would be great—it seems like a really useful tool!

Gets stuck at this phase in the Heroku build (well I assume it shouldn't take 20+ mins):

@cacabo Looks like the database needs to be reset.
