Error code EADDRINUSE

[PXNDA]

I cloned MagicMirror and copied the run-start.sh into the original but it still doesn’t work.
Entire error:

{ Error: listen EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:8080
    at Server.setupListenHandle [as _listen2] (net.js:1330:14)

@PXNDA that means something is already using port 8080. Maybe u have pm2 running magicmirror already

[mumblebaj]

@PXNDA As @sdetweil mentioned, the EADDRINUSE means that something is already listening on port 8080. You need to check what it is and kill the process and try restarting the MM again.

Thank you. It fixed the error code but now it is asking me to create a config file when I already have one.

[sdetweil]

@PXNDA u have a syntax error

From the MagicMirror folder do

npm run check:config

Fix errors top down, rerun til no errors

[PXNDA]

Thanks it worked but I now have a black screen, with nothing on it.

[sdetweil]

@PXNDA open the developers console, ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab and scroll up to find any errors, usually in red text

[PXNDA]

I got this warning:

@PXNDA don’t care about that… looking for errors

are you still getting the eaddressinuse error in the terminal window?

[PXNDA]

No, and i only have that warning.

[PXNDA]

[sdetweil]

select the console tab… you are on the elements tab

[PXNDA]

@PXNDA change the filter from defaults to all

[PXNDA]

What do you mean?

[PXNDA]

[sdetweil]

@PXNDA there is a field called filter, center … there should be a lot of info in the console…

the very top row, elements, console, sources, network, …

[sdetweil]

@PXNDA not the word all, next to it there is a drop down says default levels
