      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!

                      my file is in /var/www/html/MagicMirror/config/config.js,

                      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

                        @Mykle1 not necessarily, you can install the mirror in every directory you like

                        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
