Error code EADDRINUSE

sdetweil

@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.

PXNDA

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.

sdetweil

@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:

PXNDA

@PXNDA change the filter from defaults to all

PXNDA

What do you mean?

PXNDA

sdetweil

@PXNDA there is a field called filter, center … there should be a lot of info in the console…

the very top row, elements, console, sources, network, …

sdetweil

@PXNDA not the word all, next to it there is a drop down says default levels
