    @halpi-thousand said in MM Config check goes bad:

    Geany

    ?

    it did report, that somewhere further down it lost the structure

    deducing where it was caused is a fun time project.

    I wrote a module for this kind of problem, that presents a form. no more config editing

    funny it’s called MMM-Config!

      :astonished_face: And just like that, you’re my new best MagicMirror friend - I’ve been wanting something like this to make working on this stuff easier. Love this idea. Looks like it should be a fair bit more Newb-friendly than fiddling around in the config file tends to be.

      One thing: it apparently requires the Pi IP address and Port ID. The IP address wasn’t a problem, but I don’t know where or what to look for to get the Port ID. Or did I just miss something somewhere?

      Thanks again

        @halpi-thousand if you use showQR:true

        then there will be a qr code to use from outside

        the default port on mm is 8080

        the doc (readme.md) says what link to use if not using the qr code

          Right, the link where you substitute the IP and Port for that one part

          http://MM_IP_Address:MM_Port/modules/MMM-Config/review

          I tried the Pi’s IP and Port 8080, and got this error:

          Unable to connect
          Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server
          at 192.168.1.13:8080.
          The site could be temporarily unavailable or
          too busy. Try again in a few moments.
          If you are unable to load any pages, check
          your computer’s network connection.
          • If your computer or network is protected by
          a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is
          permitted to access the Web.

          I also tried adding in that ShowQR: true line; it didn’t give me a QR.

          Any ideas where I might be getting it wrong?

            @halpi-thousand if the mm config says
            address:“localhost”,

            the Only apps INSIDE the pi can connect

            if u want to connect from outside the pi (phone, tablet, ??? )

            then u have to change address and ipWhitelist

            to allow outside machines anto connect

            it’s showQR not ShowQR

            case matters in MagicMirror, everywhere

              I checked, and it’s set up as localhost. That shouldn’t be a problem, this one isn’t headless. Two displays and a wireless keyboard/trackpad.

              Also, showQR is correct spelling and case.

                  Exactly the problem, it doesn’t show up. It’s set up for upper left, last in line so it should be below the holidays and above the Earth. I copy/pasted right from your page instructions, and I kept an eye out for that bit with the missing bracket error I made in that other thing, so I figure it should be happy. Except for some reason it isn’t. I have no idea what it could be.

                      Well, whatever I did, it worked enough to get the message about the QR code where it should be. Now to see if I can actually get the webpage to behave as well.
