@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

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 :

Did MagicMirror install without any errors?
-
It is for just this type of situation that I wrote this:
-
npm WARN prefer global coffee-script@1.10.0 should be installed with -g npm WARN prefer global jsonlint@1.6.2 should be installed with -g npm WARN prefer global colorguard@1.2.0 should be installed with -g > uws@0.14.5 install /var/www/html/node_modules/uws > node-gyp rebuild > build_log.txt 2>&1 || exit 0 -
@greda YES.I have saved my config.js to the right place```
/config/config.js -
@greda I use :
sudo mv /var/www/html/config/config.js.sample /var/www/html/config/config.jsto create my config file,and then reboot.
-
@AlexHpoin You should just be in the directory
~MagicMirror/config
and typecp config.js.sample config.js
-
Isn’t it crazy?
-
@cowboysdude I did…but it does not work…
-
@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?
