I‘m 100% sure you have a syntax error in your config, very likely a missing comma or a bracket. The error message is some what misleading. Post your config and we‘ll look on it.

@Fozi @geo
do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run config:check

fix each error, starting from the top, make one change, rerun
the error is usually reported on the line AFTER the problem

unexpected token is usually a missing comma on the line before, or missing matched quotes

@Fozi hi i am now really embarassed,how do i post tme config.
i should explain i thought the mirror would be a great project but did not realise ,for me, how complicated it was.

Stick with it! Its a great learning experience. Just take your time and dont rush.

Here is how you post your config entries.

Open the MagicMirror/config/config.js file in a text editor. Highlight the entries in the config file. CTRL-C or copy command. Then come back to the forum and start a reply post. When you want to paste your code click on the little </> icon above the post. You will see a notification in the posting then that reads Code Here. Highlight that Code Here and choose CTRL-V or paste command. That will paste the code. Choose Submit! Done.

you were missing a { after config: under the module currentweather

and also one to many , under the module weatherforecast

Corrected code :

		{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {   
				location: "",
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "",
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		},

@geo said in config:

  {
  	module: "currentweather",
  	position: "top_right",
  	config: 
  		location: "",
  		locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
  		appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
  	}
  },

should be

		{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config:  {    // < ---- missing open brace
				location: "",
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		},

this

		{
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "",
				
				,
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		}

should be

		{
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "",
				
				//,   < ---  remove extra comma
				locationID: "53.9576",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "76b503a29647f3a01dd9ba1055daea6d",
			}
		}
