          After some weeks with the MagicMirror running, my SD card got corrupted and I decided to reinstall the system from scratch. I switched from “Jessie Light” to “Stretch light”, used node 6.11.4 and of course the latest MagicMirror 2.1.3.

          I can access the MM from the browser of my laptop, but Midori only shows a white page. Even for a very simple config file:

          var config = {
                  address: "",
                  port: 8080,
                  ipWhitelist: ["192.168.2.185", "127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],
                  language: "en",
                  units: "metric",
                  modules: [
                  {
                          module: "helloworld",
                          position: "bottom_bar",
                          config: {
                                  text: "Hello world!"
                          }
                  }
                  ]
          
          };
          
          /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
          if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}
          

          The start of MM gives no error

          Starting MagicMirror: v2.1.3
          Loading config ...
          Loading module helpers ...
          No helper found for module: helloworld.
          All module helpers loaded.
          Starting server on port 8080 ...
          Server started ...
          Sockets connected & modules started ...
          
          Ready to go! Please point your browser to: http://localhost:8080
          

          and if I change from

          midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080
          

          to

          midori -e Fullscreen -a http://www.google.de
          

          I see the google page. So Midori itself and the output on screen seems working as well.

          Is anybody having an idea where to search for the error?
          Is anybody using MagicMirror 2.1.3 on its Pi Zero?

                first set:
                set ipWhitelist: [] to allow all IP addresses.

                Warning, this enables from everywhere (on your net) have access.
                then in webbrowser go to pizero ip with port set in config ex. 192.168.1.12:8080 and check if its working

                    why he’s looking for /home/pi/package.json then it is /home/pi/MagicMirror/package.json ?

                    This is my log

                      In which directory did you execute npm start
                      ? I would assume you would first go to your MagicMirror directory (cd /home/pi/MagicMirror ). This would also explain the problem with the missing package.json file.

                      However, I’m not sure if npm start works at all in combination with the serveronly mode (needed for the Pi Zero). For starting, I use the method described in the first post of this thread in the section “Setting up boot scripts”.

                      I can acccess my MM from remote, however still didn’t get it to show in the Midori browser :-/

                        as you said I was not in the right record.
                        I had an error with the libnss3 library. Now more error

                        DISPLAY =: 0 npm start

                        magicmirror@2.1.3 start / home / pi / MagicMirror
                        sh run-start.sh

                        pi @ raspberrypi ~ / MagicMirror $ npm run config: check

                        magicmirror@2.1.3 config: check / home / pi / MagicMirror
                        node tests / configs / check_config.js

                        Checking file … /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
                        Your configuration file not containt syntax error :)

                        but it still does not work with midori
