      did you try to start the “Server only” mode an open a browser on Ubuntu with IP of your MM?
      To start Server only do node serveronly in your MagicMirror directory.

      Maybe this helps to find the problem.

            Hello everyone,

            3months later, I hope it’s not too late :)

            @AxLed i’m trying to use “node serveronly” but have this error :
            WARNING! Could not validate config file. Please correct syntax errors. Starting with default configuration.

            0_1539678763897_Capture d’écran 2018-10-16 à 10.31.27.png

            I followed @Mykle1 tutorial to create default config.js but this not works.

            Any idea ? (My internet connection works)

            Thanks.

              Your config.js might have some misspell or wrong syntax.

                My config.js is by default :D
                I just changed “en” by “fr”.

                I’ll try to find config.js on Git and come back to you.

                Thanks.

                EDIT :

                I downloaded the latest config.js from : https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/config/config.js.sample
                And not works :'(

                    I can bet you have missed comma after language:"fr". 95% of syntax error was that thing in my case. :D

                        Did you change the name of the config file from ‘config.js.sample’ to ‘config.js’ ?
