    hecking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js

        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 : somevalue
        

        where 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 number

        AND 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)

            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

                @lavolp3 but his error was

                Unexpected token Welcome_message

                so, one at least more this is wrong

                  @sdetweil Looking at above post, there’s looots of errors in the config.

                  @PHAGE-GOV we can’t lead you through all of these.
                  You need to understand how config.js needs to look. Only one comma set false or forgotten breaks the whole file and the mirror.

                    @lavolp3 The alert part needs to look like this:

                    		{
                    			module: "alert",
                    			position: "right",
                    			welcome_message: "a string"
                    		},
