      @smartsoldier We don’t know. Remove all the modules in config.js and add one-by-one. Let’s see what happens.

        @sean If I remove this module everything runs fine, then if I put it back this happens. Does that mean its this module or no?

          Are you willing to share the syntax error with us?
          I thought you were referring to the “create config file” message at startup.

            @smartsoldier Of course, it could be the fails of that module configuration.

                No error at all. I didn’t modify anything.

                  Well I guess that settles that. I’ll just do a reinstall. Thanks for all the help though. You responded really quickly :)

                    @smartsoldier Please edit the post with the config.js and remove your private api keys, like apiKey and dropboxAccessToken.

                      I personally would not do a complete re-install, but I would re-install the modules according to their instructions.
                      Those modules would be:

                      MMM-DropboxWallpaper
                      MMM-forecast-io
                      MMM-DailyBibleVerse

                      In that order.
                      Btw, are all modules under the MagicMirror/modules directory ?
                      You yourself proofed that most stuff works.
                      @Sean proofed that your config is okay.

                      Btw, a simple ‘trick’ to disable a module is to put

                      disabled: true,

                      under the module name

                      and

                      disabled: false,

                      to enable it again.

                      Disabled:

                      module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper',
                      disabled: true,
                      

                      Enabled:

                      module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper',
                      disabled: false,
                      

                      This gives you a faster way of excluding ‘wrong’ modules.
                      Or simply to test a module, whilst leaving the config when the module is not needed.
