    @pastormingle Need some help now running two config files for my dual monitor configuration. I have MM directory and a MM1 directory. But it looks like both are reading the same config file… if i go to MM1 and do a DISPLAY=:0 npm start it seem to read the same config files as MM directory. What am i doing wrong here?

      @pastormingle hm… I do this ALL the time

      two copies of MM, two config files

      have to set two different ports too, right?

      one of 8080 and one on 8090 (thats what I do)

        @sdetweil I’ve been using pm2 to start so not sure how I set up separate ports for that?

          @pastormingle port is in the config.js

          also do pm2 status

          and pm2 info xx

          where xx is the number

          to make sure they are starting different scripts…

          how did u setup the second instance?
