        @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

            @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"
                		},

                    {
                    			module: "compliments",
                    			position: "lower_third",
                    			compliments: {	
                    				"anytime" : [
                    					"Hey there sexy!"
                    				],
                    				"morning" : [
                    

                    so 64 is the compliments line and it says it has trailing spaces. Im actually learning so much about json files rn so thank you @sdetweil and @lavolp3
