Error - EADDRINUSE

sdetweil

if u reboot, does mm start?

how did u install? the automated script? if so, did u say yes to “use pm2 to autostart”?

maybe do

pm2 status

otherwise some other app is using the same port as mm wants to use.

edit config.js, and change

port:8080,

to

port:8090,

Ice-cream

Sorry, that did not work - error I receive.
code: ‘EADDRINUSE’,
errno: ‘EADDRINUSE’,
syscall: ‘listen’,
address: ‘[delete]’,
port: 8090

Yes MM auto-starts on reboot > yes to automated script > I followed these steps: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror.

The current error when I run

pm2 restart mm

Use --update-env to update environment variables

I’ve just checked and I do not have a doc electron.js from this source - ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js.

I remember that all I did was type kill in the terminal and killed a number - what mess have I caused!!! I’m so sorry :(

The instructions I followed - I stopped after I entered kill and the number (I think mine began with a 5 or 9)

@Ice-cream can u show me the top of config.js and show me how u start magic mirror

Ice-cream

@sdetweil

config = {
	address: "localhost", 	// Address to listen on, can be:
							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
	port: 8090,
	basePath: "/", 	// The URL path where MagicMirror is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
					// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], 	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses
															// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
															// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
															// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
															// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

	useHttps: false, 		// Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP
	httpsPrivateKey: "", 	// HTTPS private key path, only require when useHttps is true
	httpsCertificate: "", 	// HTTPS Certificate path, only require when useHttps is true

@Ice-cream ok, all. makes no sense do

pm2 stop 0
reboot

now, system should reboot, and mm should not restart.

then do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile 2>&1

if mm does not start press ctr-c to stop the npm start

edit the somefile
