Problems with my Config file

[EdO]

What kind of problem are you having? Have you run:

npm run config:check

to see if there are any syntax errors?

[Omensch]

well I don’t know what this really means.
do you have an idea?

@Omensch I ran config:check and don’t see any errors…

what problem are u having?

[EdO]

I’m not seeing anything jump out at me though I’m not familiar with all of your modules. If the config:check doesn’t show any errors, then you need to go through each module definition to make sure it is correct.

You can go through each one checking the documentation as you go or you can do what I’ve done. When I ran into a similar problem I commented out every module except one. Then one at a time I restarted MM to see if that module was defined properly until I found the offending module. Once you know the one that is causing problems, you will need to pull up the documentation for it to find out what is wrong.

When you find the offending module, now you need to check to see what is wrong with that module definition. Chances are it’s a parameter that is misspelled or not applicable or specified incorrectly.

@Omensch also, how did u do the setup of MagicMirror?

Manually, or with my automated install script?
From here

[Omensch]

@EdO thanks I’ll try that

[Omensch]

@sdetweil with the command from the website of MagicMirror

[sdetweil]

@Omensch the old installer?

try the new one, rename the MagicMirror folder out of the way
then execute this from a terminal window or ssh session

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
