Config Error

PHAGE.GOV

@sdetweil yeah, so note to self for the future lol
so literally type “cd magic mirror” and that should fix it?
and also change my api key in the future, not in the config file, right?

sdetweil

@PHAGE-GOV in the config file the apikey should be ok, only when u paste config to the forum should u blank it out…

linux is case sensitive, so its

cd MagicMirror

PHAGE.GOV

@sdetweil so i did the cd Magic Mirror and then ran pm2 start/mm.sh
and i got a pm2 error “script not found: home/pi/MagicMirror/mm.sh”

sdetweil

@PHAGE-GOV use my pm2 setup script here

@PHAGE-GOV said in Config Error:

/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:41
Welcome_message “string”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

PHAGE.GOV

@sdetweil would it be a good idea at this point to just delete and reinstall lol

PHAGE.GOV

@sdetweil wait so how do i fix that line? like what would you recomend?

sdetweil

@PHAGE-GOV that is what you have to figure out… run the syntax checker

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run config:check

the error is typically reported on the line following the error, but maybe not in this case.
read this
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners?_=1589635889121

you are asking for people to do the work for you, and not learning… time to learn

PHAGE.GOV

@sdetweil okay mom lmaoo, and yes, i agree
