Troubleshooting MagicMirror

@dazza120 Perfect thanks a lot man it’s working now.
So the next step, i copied the file /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js.sample to /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Do I have to modify the script in config.js or go to inside each folder in modules and customize them?

@bhepler Thanks for your help, it’s working now. I deleted the folder and installed it with the manual method :thumbs_up:

You should only make changes to your config.js when adding or removing the modules you want to display. It is not recommended that you modify the module files.

@Mykle1 Thank you for your answer.

You’re welcome, mate.

You might want to read this simple guide if you are unsure about adding modules to your config.js file.

Is there any way to get an overview when I’m editing the config.js file
I tried a web access to pi’s ip address and port from another computer on the same network but it’s not working even if i specified the ip address of pi in address section and allowed all ip addresses in ipwhitelist section!!

This is not working for you?

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

@mykle1 unfortunately not.
I put the wlan0 ip address of my pi instead of localhost and it’s not working neither.

Long shot:

Try address: "0.0.0.0",
