      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:

      var config = {
      	port: 8080,
      	address: 192.168.86.131,
      	ipWhitelist: ["192.168.86.100", "192.168.86.150"],
      
      	language: "en",

      			}
      			{
      				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?
