    Hey,

    I have some issues here too. Not very familiar with Linux and just got my first RPI, for this project specifically :)

    I’ve been trying for hours now to get this to work, but MM just says that I need a working config file. I’ve tried editing the text in Sublime (I find it easier to read than the built in texteditor on Raspbian), but I can’t seem to find the errors.

    I’m attaching the contents of my config file, minus the tokens and stuff:

    /* Magic Mirror Config Sample

    var config = {
    	port: 8080,
    	address: 192.168.86.131,
    	ipWhitelist: ["192.168.86.100", "192.168.86.150"],
    
    	language: "en",
    	timeFormat: 24,
    	units: "metric",
    
    	modules: [
    		{
    			module: "alert",
    		},
    		{
    			module: "updatenotification",
    			position: "top_bar"
    		},
    		{
    			module: "clock",
    			position: "top_left"
    		},
    		{
    			module: "calendar",
    			header: "Kalender",
    			position: "top_left",
    			config: {
    				calendars: [
    					{
    						symbol: "calendar-check-o",
    						url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/the_rest_of_my_calendars_URL"
    					}
    				]
    			}
    		},
    		{

    			position: "lower_third"
    		},
    		{
    			module: "currentweather",

    			config: {

    				feeds: [

    					}
    				],
    				showSourceTitle: true,
    				showPublishDate: true
    			}
    		},
    	]
    
    }
    
    {
    	module: "MMM-Ruter",
    	header: "Reisetider",
    	position: "top_left",
    	config: {

    			}
    			{
    				stopId: "4020080",
    				platforms: [ "1", "2" ],
    				timeToThere: 0
    			}
    			
    		]
    	}
    };
    /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
    if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}
    
    

    Any help is highly appreciated!

        @johnnyboy Thanks for the leads! I’ll have a look at it.
        I didn’t change the original file (or at least, I don’t think I did) - except for the alterations with keys and the Ruter-addon.

        Stupid question: Is the config.js file supposed to be in the config folder, or should there be a /config/config (ie another folder called config) that contains the config.js ?

              @johnnyboy Thanks - I should have learned that by now, but… Haha. You know.

              I ended up re-installing Raspbian as i messed up something so the wifi-card wasn’t recognized anymore.
              I also followed the step-by-step guide at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/6 and got by the cleaning process. I then tried installing apache2 and PHP5 again; getting the same error as the one below.

              When I try installing MM now, I get these errors:

              Installing helper tools ...

              Errors were encountered while processing:
               libpam-chksshpwd:armhf
              E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
              

              I tried googling the error, but I’m not sure if I’m on the right track with solutions described.

              Any ideas?

                What are you installing PHP5 and apache2 for?
