Config.js file Syntax

Mykle1

When I first started using Linux I was taught the very bad habit of switching to the root user and doing everything as root, so I moved the file into where it needs to be in /home/pi but I still have the same problem

Again, I hate to refer to the Complete Setup Tutorial but item #7 of Notes at the very beginning of the tutorial states:
"DO NOT INSTALL MagicMirror² as the root user! Always do it as the regular, non privileged pi user"

With that said, your config is not the problem. I just tested it and it fired right up.

Unless, it’s not named correctly (config.js) or MM can’t find it at its proper path

@Mykle1 I’m wondering if the problem was actually that I was using a Pi 0, I’m testing now on a Pi 2 and I’ve run the automatic installer, though it is now just sitting doing absolutely nothing, the last thing it said is:

>node-gyp rebuild > build_log.txt 2>&1 || exit 0

And now it’s just sitting there. It hasn’t bought the prompt back up yet so maybe I’m being impatient.

@jade several people were struggling with PI0 IIRC. Search the forum (for example start here).

@Anhalter42 I’ve got it mostly up and running on Pi 2 now, my only issue now is it’s loading a black screen with no info, the terminal says launching application and then access denied to IP address 0.0.0.0/0 I have no idea what’s going on now!

@Anhalter42 Ok, it’s all good, I just took the ipWhitelist section from the sample pasted it in and now I have a working mirror that sporadically gives me game of thrones quotes! My office at work is now much brighter!

Well, you do until he kills off another Stark child.
