    @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.

        Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 (8 GB RAM)
        Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

        Test environment:
        MagicMirror version: v2.30.0
        Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 (1 GB RAM)
        Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

          @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.

                    @smartsoldier

                    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.

                      @smartsoldier cut and paste your code in the www.jslint.com

                      check single quotes, spaces

                      and test it… you should find your error quickly

                      fix, and cut/paste the results back into the config.js
