@PierreGode Hello, I’m having the same issues as supascoopa74 and mischag. I went through all the points in the wiki page and still unable to get to the admin page. Checked my firwalls and they were “open”… unsure how to proceed.

@khayfer what is the address: setting in config.js
it CANNOT be localhost. as thst mesns only apps INSIDE the same system can connect (a browser on the same system)

@PierreGode Thank you for the wiki. I didn’t realize the MagicMirror needs to be running for the admin page to work. Doh! It works now trying to access myPIip:5003 from another computer on my network.

@khayfer Hi!
Could you tell me about your setup?
Is it ”vanilla” raspberry pi setup?
What is pm2 logs saying?

khayfer

@sdetweil my apologies for the late reply, the stomach flu ravaged our home this past week.
As for the address in config it is set to “local host” and it lists the raspberry pi 's ip address.

sdetweil

@khayfer address:“localhost”

means ONLY apps INSIDE the same system can connect, means a browser started from the desktop

if you want to use another system, set
address:“0.0.0.0”,

khayfer

@sdetweil I changed it to 0.0.0.0 and it still says it could not connect to the server :-/

sdetweil

@khayfer can you open the MagicMirror page from that machine?

many browsers have started to implement local network access security. i know on my mac, i cannot access my 3d print server w chrome anymore. i have to use safari

khayfer

@sdetweil yes, I’m able to use the browser in the pi. I can navigate the internet no problem, but the moment I type the ip address, it still says could not connect to the server.
I then tried it on multiple different devices/browsers on the same wifi and they all say the same thing.

sdetweil

@khayfer and you are doing
http://address:port

for MagicMirror
port from config.js
on the same machine
you can use localhost

http://localhost:8080

ip addr

will give you the address of the pi
from your laptop

http://xxxxx:8080

where xxxxx was the addr from ip addr
