    That config is fine. I just tested it. I don’t mean to intrude but is your config,js file in the correct directory? MM should have no problem with that config, unless it couldn’t find it.

      Huh, according to your config you use the same locationID that I do. Welcome to NYC! :-)

          @Mykle1 I just didn’t modify a thing from that file, just to make it work, once I see it up and running I’ll slowly customize it. I’m in Pennsylvania :)

            @amosh83 - Well, progress. You have a config.js file in the right place and it’s passing the syntax checks.

            Maybe I should have paid more attention while reading. I see now that I asked something that you had already established. My bad.

            I am extremely curious to see how MM can report "Please create a config file. See README for more information. If you get this message while your config file is already created, your config file probably contains an error." when there is a working config in the proper directory.

              @amosh83 Did you post the exact config.js file. If so you’re missing a “/” on the first line.

                  Ahh, you missed when you copied and pasted. That’s fairly common.

                  are you kidding me???

                  Now where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, I said it!

                  Enjoy your mirror

                    I’m having this exact problem, but I’ve used a linter to check for errors and there are none, and my file is in /var/www/html/MagicMirror/config/config.js, I have no idea what I’m doing wrong!

                      Your installation of MM belongs as follows, and so the path to your config.js file

                      pi@raspberry ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

                      Then we can work on your config.js if need be
