MagicMirror restarts all the time

Laurids

Hello,
I have to admit, that I´m an absolute noob. I was able to run the MagicMirror on a raspi3 with different modules. Yesterday I installed some updates (MM and ioserver) and since then, I have the problem, that my MM stops after 78 seconds everytime after a restart. What did I do wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Laurids

@laurids need to see the messages where u start mm. either npm start or pm2. if pm2, then the
pm2 logs --lines=100
will provide the info

Laurids

@sdetweil thank you for your reply. I´m sorry for this stupid question, but how can i copy text out of a log-file, when I use ssh? My pm2.log has more than 10000 lines, which are important for you?

sdetweil

@laurids something near the end that shows around the time of the failure

Laurids

@sdetweil I hope that this is helping

@laurids sadly no. pm2 splits output inyo two logs

errors and output. this looks like the output.

errors are printed first

send the output to a file

pm2 logs --lines=100 >somefile

then edit somfile

@sdetweil here are some lines of the error.log. They repeat all the time:

@laurids said in MagicMirror restarts all the time:

errno: ‘ECONNREFUSED’,
code: ‘ECONNREFUSED’,
syscall: ‘connect’,
address: ‘192.168.178.1’,

and
[09.05.2021 11:29.04.737] [ERROR] Got error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8087

look like the indicators…

whatever is using 192.168.178.1 looks like it didn’t handle the error

this 127.0.0.1:8087 is localhost, on the same machine, some server maybe related to above…

Laurids

@sdetweil thanks for your help. I have to admit, that I don´t have a clue how to fix the errors I think I just give it another try with a new installation.

sdetweil

@laurids I’m assuming it’s some module you’ve installed, so looking at the config.js may give a clue
