      with this config, black screen

      modules: [
      	{
      		module: 'MMM-HTTPRequestDisplay',
      		position: 'bottom_bar',	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
      		header: 'MMM-HTTPRequestDisplay', // This is optional
      		config: {
      			httpRequestURL: 'http://192.168.1.248:8889/status.xml',
      			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.

        Make sure that you’re not just copy and pasting blindly into your config file.

        After each

        modules: [
        {
        etc
        },
        

        Note the comma , after the module. That comma should only be there if there are more modules.

        Likewise, if you’re pasting it last, you need to make sure the module before it has one, to let the script know there are more modules after the previous one.

        So the pattern is

        modules: [
        {
           module: ‘firstModule’,
           config: {
           option : ""
           }
        }, <<< COMMA HERE
        
        modules: [
        {
           module: ‘middleModule’,
           config: {
           option : ""
           }
        }, <<< COMMA HERE
        
        modules: [
        {
           module: ‘last module’,
           config: {
           option : ""
           }
        } <<<<< NO COMMA
        

        hope that makes sense. hopefully that’s the problem.

              Can you Zip up and upload your config file somewhere I can download it and I’ll take a look? Somewhere like pastebin.

                Hey @acdacd2, please use proper Markdown when posting code. It really isn’t that hard to do and it makes it so much easier and pleasant for others to read, and possibly find errors quicker. Specifically you need to use back ticks before and after your code:

                     ```
                     like so. Note that a back tick is not the same as the normal apostrophe, ` versus ' .
                     ```
                

                A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                  @KirAsh4 can you confirm MM startup with my module with this config file?

                  The module won’t show any results but MM should boot?

                    The file ‘status.xml’ doesn’t exist on my system, so it gets a 404 returned, however it does load up, and it does work.

                        Right, I have not tested this on an actual rpi … I’m at the office, so I’m running a serveronly setup. I can do an rpi test later, although I suspect it will still work, as opposed to resulting in a blank screen. It returns the error as expected when it can’t find the file.
