@innovation ok,

postinstall should be 43 lines long
if so do this

./postinstall

the check for qrcp.json again

[innovation]

@sdetweil Yes the file is there now

pi@smart:~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics $ ls qrcp.json
qrcp.json

[sdetweil]

@innovation ok, start mm

[innovation]

@sdetweil I am getting the same “default message if none supplied in the config.js”

[sdetweil]

@innovation weird

ok, add
debug: true,

to the module definition
and then do

npm start >somefile
once mm comes up u can stop it and then we can look at somefile

[innovation]

@sdetweil npm start >somefile
npm ERR! missing script: start

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2021-03-26T16_26_09_848Z-debug.log

Yes, the program started then I ended it

[sdetweil]

@innovation from the magicmirror folder please

[innovation]

@sdetweil Yes it opened. Where is the somefile?

[sdetweil]

@innovation in the magicmirror folder

> means put all the terminal window content of the pgm into the file
(same as for windows)

[innovation]

@sdetweil Nothing shows up in the terminal when I run in though

[sdetweil]

@innovation don’t understand, mm puts out messages
looks like this

@innovation did u add debug: true to the uploadPics module config section

                {
                        module:"uploadPics",
                        disabled:false,
                        position:"bottom_left",
                        config:{
                                dest : '../modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads',
                                debug:true
                        }
                },

[2021-03-26 22:34:24.898] [LOG] p=/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads
[2021-03-26 22:34:26.239] [LOG] error=Error: stat /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads: no such file or directory

where are the uploaded pics supposed to go?
that folder doesn’t exist…

[innovation]

@sdetweil But there is a folder in

/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/uploads

[sdetweil]

@innovation ‘’/MMMM’
typo in the dest config… 4 M’s instead of 3

[innovation]

@sdetweil Yes it works! Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it

[sdetweil]

@innovation glad u got it… i changed the message to say check the config
and also allowed the error message to pass thru even if not in debug mode… thanks for your patience
