Problems with Config.js on Pi4 BlackScreen

[dazza120]

@sdetweil hi im getting the dev window then into console bet there is nothing at all in there just > So what do i have to run in the dev window is it cd MagicMirrior then pm2 start MagicMirrior? im lost just work dam you mirror lol

@dazza120 pm2 runs the DEFINITION named x. It doesn’t care about folder.

The setup typically uses the pm2_MagicMirror.json file in installers, or the mm.sh there as well.

mm.sh has a bug, it uses ~ to mark ‘current user’, but when start on boot, the user is root, not pi. So the startup fails. My new installer fixes that.

So, edit mm.sh and change the path to
/home/pi/MagicMirror

@sdetweil its in that path already but it is completely empty. should it contain text?

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 sorry, what is “it’s”?

[dazza120]

@sdetweil /home/pi/MagicMirror The mm.sh should it contain text?

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 sorry… what is completely empty? mm.sh is in installers folder

[dazza120]

@sdetweil i unhide my files and one is in the location i said with no text and the other is in installer as you said with text

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 remove the one in MagicMirror… useless

Fix the one in installers

[dazza120]

@sdetweil ok done, what to do now. ive just copied the installer one and overwrite the magic mirror path one

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 which one does pm2 want to use? I am not near my computer so can’t get the list of pm2 commands.

pm2 – help

Did u edit the path in mm.sh?
