Are you sure it’s named config.js ?

I just copied what you posted and it fired right up.

@AlexHpoin Have u saved the config file in the right place?

Hello,

You must to have config.js in this path : cd /MagicMirror/config!
If you use Putty
0_1502824906699_config.PNG
If you use WinSCP

If it does not work. I advise you to copy the original config.js.

var config = {
port: 8080,
ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :

@greda YES.I have saved my config.js to the right place```
/config/config.js

AlexHpoin

@greda I use :

sudo mv /var/www/html/config/config.js.sample /var/www/html/config/config.js

to create my config file,and then reboot.

cowboysdude

@AlexHpoin You should just be in the directory

~MagicMirror/config
and type

cp config.js.sample config.js
