SOLVED MM fails to start after update
-
Hi,
after running @sdetweil’s upgrade script to upgrade from 2.13 to 2.17, my MM is not starting anymore. I cannot run it again (says that I am up to date) and I don’t know what to do or which info I should provide here to fix this issue. Is there a repair installation?
-
@sdetweil Thank you. Took me a while to find the time but now I apllied your fix (mentioned above, saw your updated script afterwars only) and had to reinstall “request”-library to some addons.
Now working.

@requiemmg not starting, or showing black screen?

@sdetweil Not starting. I guess there was some error during the upgrade instalaltion, but it scrolled so fast that I could not read it.
-
@requiemmg installers/upgrade.log has the processing
and if u use pm2, then pm2 stop all
cd MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt
waitctrl-c to stop MM
then somefile.txt has the messages
-
@requiemmg it could also be the mode/npm versions, which upgrade currently doesn’t fix.
short workaround
rename mm folder to MagicMirror.save
mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.saverun the installer script which DOES check and upgrade node/npm
erase the new MagicMirror folderrm -rf MagicMirrorrename the old one back
mv MagicMirror.save MagicMirrorthe run upgrade again with force at the end instead of apply
I will fix upgrade.

@requiemmg I just posted changes to the upgrade script to check and do the node/npm upgrade and to check and fix any modules needed the missing libraries…
both only ACTUALLY done for apply/force, but describe what would be done otherwiseu can use it now by using force to reupgrade already upgraded…
