      the installation went well, but when I try to reboot the booting logo appears shortly, but thats it.
      But into the MM folder there are two config folder now, one .config and one config
      Either I didn’t recogbize that bevor, or one is new.

        Just wanted to check in. I tried to copy the config.js you posted and I had some problems as well. I’m a bit busy today, but I have some ideas and if you’re still stuck I’ll try to have a solution for you tomorrow. :)

        What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

          Hallo
          Has somebody an idea to help?
          The internet connection is fine, cause the rss from the Ney York Times is shown.
          Thank you in advance

          MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
          If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

            @kurt this means probably that there is already an instance of magicmirror running on your pi because the port is already used

            Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                    @kurt are you sure you have a config file in /home/pi/MagicMirror/config

                        I’m working with File Zilla to transfer the files.
                        By now I guess he the one who makes the config folder dissapear. Have you ever heard of something like that? or can you recommend an other tool to upload files? I tried Cyberduck, but won’t work.
                        Thanks

                            Anyway, I copied the folder again to the pi.
                            calender, changed compliments and newsfeed appear.
                            Do you have an idea, why the weather and the forecast dont show?
                            Thanks

                              @kurt do you get any errors in the terminal, maybe your api key is incorrect etc.

                              Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                                  Thank’s a lot for your help, but strawberry allready repaired my mistakes, so by now i’m fine, just thinking about what is the best way to save such a running system, so I can go back when things go wrong and I found out things go very quick wrong :)
                                  So have a nice day and Thank you

                                    I would create an archive of the entire magicmirror folder.

                                    cd ~
                                    tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror

                                        This command will create a file called mirror.tar in your home directory on your raspberry. You can copy/transfer it to your computer with filezilla, the same way you did to copy new files to your raspberry

                                            Sorry didn’t happen,
                                            he refused “cowardly or yellow” this is the translation I found, to create an empty archiv.

                                            pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ tar -cvf mirror.tar/MagicMirror
                                            tar: Anlegen eines leeren Archivs wird feige verweigert.
                                            „tar --help“ oder „tar --usage“ gibt weitere Informationen.
