      I recently installed the magic mirror repo following the instructions from the docs. I did everything and it all worked fine, until the time came to run it. I did npm run start and it showed this,

      I then decided to run the config check and see if I did something wrong and was hit with this error:

          @SamBro2901 looks like there were two instances running. are you using pm2 to start one instance?

          pm2 status will show you

            There is already something running on port 8080. A simple solution often is to just restart your Pi. :)

              @sdetweil I did a manual install doing git clone and then npm install on raspbian and no, I haven’t used pm2 to run my instance, is that what I am doing wrong?
              Also, what about the error I get when running the config check?

                    @ktvoort123 pick a port, add one or 10, or 100.

                      Same here.
                      @MichMich this started after I updated my Raspbian to the latest, and now getting this error that I cannot resolve:

                        @Eric_H config:check hasn’t worked as of 2.12.

                        Gonna have to manually run through for now.

                            @SamBro2901 did u install w my script? or manually?

                            the already in use means something else on your system is using the networking setup mm needs.

                            maybe u have another instance running…

                                Hi,

                                same here. Rebooted RasPi many times, changed port in config file to 9080 but mirror is not displaying anything.

                                Output is still the same:
