New Install - Unable to retrieve active modules
-
Ok so I’ve got a new install, clean fresh on LTS Ubuntu
I’m getting the Unable to retrieve active modules error message. I have checked my config and the whitelist is just open [] so should (and does) let anyone in. I’ve verified I can get to the URL from both the server and local workstations on the same network.
I can’t see anything in my config that’s messing it up, so hoping a guru will know.

@dan-0 so this is an MMPM problem.
is it configured for your port number?

@sdetweil Yes sorry. When I first clicked the link that brought me to this forum I thought it was all MMPM, but looks like it’s MagicMirror. Either way
Yes, the URI listed above works fine from a web browser and from the local server so should work for MMPM I think. I can access the MMPM site as well from both locations.
I’m still a bit of a newbie and just dipping my toes into MagicMirror and how to set it up best for what I need and think MMPM would help me organize things rather than editing direct at the config file.

@dan-0 my MMM-Config is not all what MMPM does. but it presents a form for config
