      NPM is different to yours, but OK to try?

        in the config folder is the config.js.sample file which is what I wanted you to use
        just to eliminate other things,

        but

        cd ~/MagicMirror
        npm start
        

        may have to clean and nom install again as node version changed…

            so, do

            cd ~
            mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.save
            git clone  https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
            cd MagicMirror
            npm install --only=prod
            cd config
            cp config.js.sample config.js
            cd ..

                @richard238 ok!.. run this to get rid of the sandbox problem

                bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixsandbox)"
                

                then

                cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                # save the new default modules folder
                mv default default.new
                cd ..
                # copy all the modules from old install (incl default) preserve ownership and dates, need sudo to copy git info 
                sudo cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.save/modules/* modules
                cd modules
                # remove the copied default modules
                rm -rf default
                # restore the saved default
                mv default.new default
                

                copy your full function config.js to MagicMirror/config
                and try it out

                cd ~/MagicMirror
                npm start

                        Trying to rename config.js to sample,

                        Error when getting information for file “/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js”: No such file or directory
                        Error renaming file /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js: No such file or directory
                        
                        

                        Yet I can see it, I can query it for permissions…

                        Back tomorrow.

                            Good morning Sam.

                            Tried that late yesterday, and yes, it works.
                            And this morning, I copied

                            custom.css
                            

                            from

                            /home/pi/MagicMirror.save/css   
                            

                            to

                            /home/pi/MagicMirror/css
                            

                            This too is working perfectly.

                            Is there anything else to do, housekeeping maybe, or is that it now?

                              @richard238 if everything is running ok then I think you are done, and can delete the

                                Ok, I’ll do that then.

                                Do we know what the cause of all this was, was it something to do with a mismatch in versions of node and npm?

                                  @richard238 no idea what caused it.

                                  there clearly was an error somewhere in the upgrade process, maybe reported and missed, or unreported.

                                  but can u send me the MagicMirror.save/installers/upgrade.log

                                    That’s a huge file, what’s the best way to send it?

                                      @richard238 use zip to make it smaller

                                      do

                                      cd ~
                                      zip logfile.zip ~/MagicMirror.save/installers/upgrade.log
                                      # rename logfile.zip so it can be emailed
                                      mv logfile.zip logfile.txt
                                      

                                      then use email to send logfile.txt to me.

                                        bash: zip: command not found
                                        
                                        

                                        Zipped it on Windows, renamed and emailed.

                                          looking back thru the topic, the

                                          Module.createRequire is not a function is because of downlevel node.
                                          the eslint library depends on node 14+ for that to work.

                                            @richard238 if you haven’t deleted yet, can u try something

                                            because you did

                                            pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm init -y
                                            

                                            in the mm folder, instead of the module folder, this overwrote the shipped package.json

                                            so,

                                            do

                                            cd ~/MagicMirror.save
                                            git checkout package.json
                                            rm -rf node_modules
                                            rm package.lock.json
                                            npm install --only=prod
                                            

                                            then stop good mm if running and then do , in the MagicMirror.save folder

                                            npm start
