Error code EADDRINUSE

PXNDA

I cloned MagicMirror and copied the run-start.sh into the original but it still doesn’t work.
Entire error:

{ Error: listen EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:8080

@PXNDA that means something is already using port 8080. Maybe u have pm2 running magicmirror already

@PXNDA As @sdetweil mentioned, the EADDRINUSE means that something is already listening on port 8080. You need to check what it is and kill the process and try restarting the MM again.

Thank you. It fixed the error code but now it is asking me to create a config file when I already have one.

sdetweil

@PXNDA u have a syntax error

From the MagicMirror folder do

npm run check:config

Fix errors top down, rerun til no errors

PXNDA

Thanks it worked but I now have a black screen, with nothing on it.

@PXNDA open the developers console, ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab and scroll up to find any errors, usually in red text

I got this warning:

Electron Security Warning (Insecure Content-Security-Policy) This renderer process has either no Content Security
Policy set or a policy with “unsafe-eval” enabled. This exposes users of
this app to unnecessary security risks.

This warning will not show up
once the app is packaged.

@PXNDA don’t care about that… looking for errors

are you still getting the eaddressinuse error in the terminal window?

PXNDA

No, and i only have that warning.
