[geo]

hi i thought i had managed to copy the config you sent but obviosly not as mirror still will not open ,cheers

[La7dan]

I will make it works dont worry!
First reinstall:
1- Run this command:
sudo rm -R MagicMirror
(that will rmove the Magic mirror from your system.
2- Run this command:
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”
to install the new MagicMirror again.
3- make sure the config .js is there if not
run this command
nano MagicMirror/config/config.js
then copy between lines:

var config = {
	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

---

end: dont copy the line above ( you can fin the file in config dirctory under the name of config.js.sample. Just save it as config.js without sample)

4- start your Magic Mirror
First: cd MagicMirror
(to navigate to the Magic Mirror dirctory)
second run : npm start
Check if it works!

I will be helping you step by step even if you wants to add some modules.

Good luck!!!

@La7dan hi the mirror is up and running.the next problem is to have the weather and news modules changed to Gb

[cowboysdude]

Cannot express this enough… if you have a working config make a copy of it before you make changes that way you can either
a. compare the working with the non-working config
or
b. switch back to the working config.

[La7dan]

@geo give me the name of the module and the location I will help you to make it works! thank you
