Config Error

[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

[PHAGE.GOV]

so sensei @sdetweil , i got this.

hecking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Line 41 col 4 Parsing error: Unexpected token Welcome_message

so does that just mean i should delete that line altogether?
