Config Error
-
also should I have posted those Ip Adresses?
-
@PHAGE-GOV said in Config Error:
path /home/pi/package.json
means you are not in the MagicMirror folder before npm, start
the apid id/keys should be changed to ****
also, please use the markdown around config or code blacks, paste into editor, select all, the hit the button that looks like </>
-
@sdetweil i will do that in the future!
but how do i go into the MM folder before NPM?
and also literally change the Keys to the asterisks? -
@PHAGE-GOV you open a terminal window on the desktop ctrl-alt-T, and then cd MagicMirror
(just like you would do on Windows)or ssh into the pi from your windows pc, and THEN
cd MagicMirror
yes, when displaying on the forum, we request you hide sensitive info. (like to calendars, email, …)
if u paid for your apikey and gave it away to anyone that can cut/paste, you MIGHT be unhappy!google apikeys are based on usage… have a couple hundred people using YOUR apikey might cost you
-
@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? -
@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
-
@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” -
@PHAGE-GOV use my pm2 setup script here
-
@sdetweil well i tried lol

@PHAGE-GOV said in Config Error:
/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:41
Welcome_message “string”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
-
@sdetweil would it be a good idea at this point to just delete and reinstall lol
-
@sdetweil wait so how do i fix that line? like what would you recomend?
-
@PHAGE-GOV that is what you have to figure out… run the syntax checker
cd ~/MagicMirror npm run config:checkthe 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?_=1589635889121you are asking for people to do the work for you, and not learning… time to learn
-
@sdetweil okay mom lmaoo, and yes, i agree
-
so sensei @sdetweil , i got this.
hecking file... /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js Line 41 col 4 Parsing error: Unexpected token Welcome_messageso does that just mean i should delete that line altogether?
-
@sdetweil wait so it said the options were “string” and “false” for “welcome message” thats where its wrong, so i think its fixed?? ill update if it isnt fixed lol
-
@PHAGE-GOV said in Config Error:
so does that just mean i should delete that line altogether?
no idea… maybe it is an important line,
but as I said, the error is reported on the line after the actual problem
if u read the linked getting started
you would see that elements in config.js are
sometext : somevaluewhere somevalue MUST be quoted before and after (single or double doesn’t matter, as long as both ends are the same)
unless somevalue is true/false, or a numberAND you need to add a continuation char (comma ,) at the end to the line if the next line
is include in this info, or more info is comming (another module config for example) -
@sdetweil yeah ill try that, i tried fixing “string” because it had an extra space in it but i got the no config.js file again, i will try looking for the other stuff rn
-
@PHAGE-GOV said in Config Error:
in it but i got the no config.js file again,
if it has an error in the config, it throws up its hands and says no config…
yes there is one, but he can’t tell what to do -
@PHAGE-GOV I guess you have that part in the alert module.
It needs to be like @sdetweil said. on the left side a single word, here
welcome_message. You need to take care of underlines and the upper-/lowercase.
Then there is a:and then the value which can be a string or false.welcome_message: 'Any string you like'OR
welcome_message: false
