      Hey guys
      right now I am setting up my Magic Mirror for the second time. The first time everything worked smoothly and first modules were running without any problems. But now after installing it for the second time, I cannot start the mirror with “npm start”. It always says I have to create a config file. But I already did as described in the instructions. I also set up a copy of it as recommended. However, the server version is working and I also can add new modules which are running on the server version without any problems.

      Do you have an idea what I did wrong or how I can solve this issue?

      Thank you in advance! :)

        @legan if the server ver runs, then its not a config.js problem, but most likely a failure to run npm install in some module folder…

        npm start messages should show you ‘unable to locate module’
