Can't access from external browser. (RPI zero non-W)

[ImTheBadWolf]

I can’t access magic mirror running on my raspberry pi zero from my computer. In config I granted all IP’s by “ipWhitelist: []” but I dont think the problem is here because browser on my computer says " refused to connect". I don’t have installed apache2.

Try adding the address line as seen below, or “localhost”:

var config = {
        address: "0.0.0.0", 
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: [],

That should do it.

@Mykle1 Thanks for your answer but that doesnt work either :(

You are specifying the port as well in the address?

like this :
http://192.168.0.2:8080

@broberg Yes

Can you post the beginning portion of your config?

var config = {
	port: 8080,
        address: "0.0.0.0",
	ipWhitelist: [],

	language: "en",
	timeFormat: 12,
	units: "imperial",

	modules: [

@Mykle1
var config = {
address: “0.0.0.0”,
port: 8085,
//ipWhitelist: [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “192.168.1.112”, “192.168.1.102”],
ipWhitelist: [],
language: “”,
timeFormat: 24,
units: “metric”

@ImTheBadWolf

So then, this SHOULD work:

http://192.168.1.20:8085 substitute your Pi’s ip address

You took the language OUT of your config???

Thanks guys it is working now… I dont know why but in the morning it wasnt working and now it is :D I didnt change everything except rebooted rpi so that may be the answer

And the " marks your have posted are the wrong type as well.

" " and not “ ”

This is a common mistakes when using word editors to alter your config file, Smart Quotes I think it’s called, and is not accepted in the code.
