@AlexHpoin said in I have some problems about config file:

var config = {
port: 8080,
ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
// [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.1.5”],
// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
// [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.3.0/28”],

It is for just this type of situation that I wrote this:

@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.

@AlexHpoin You should just be in the directory

~MagicMirror/config
and type

cp config.js.sample config.js

@cowboysdude

Isn’t it crazy?

AlexHpoin

@cowboysdude I did…but it does not work…

cowboysdude

@AlexHpoin At this point I would just start over.

There’s really no way of telling what happened. There seems to be an error of some kind, whether it’s file permission or something didn’t install correctly.

I’m curious. Did you even try or look at this?
