how do I restart ghost on an ec2 instance

I have Ghost running on an EC2 instance and I'd like to restart it after making changes to the source.

I CD'd into the ghost directory and ran the following command

sudo npm restart

I get the following errors

> [email protected] start /var/www/ghost
> node index


events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

All I've really done is added a them to the themes folder and it's not showing up in the admin settings and I figured restarting ghost would help.

Did you use these instructions? If so you can restart Ghost with:

pm2 restart ghost

In that command ghost is the name of the pm2 process which you can get from 

pm2 list

When I received the same error message, I had a node instance running on the same port. Search for the process by sudo ps aux | grep node and kill that node process if possible.
