MM Config check goes bad

@sdetweil said in MM Config check goes bad:
@halpi-thousand if you use showQR:true
then there will be a qr code to use from outside
the default port on mm is 8080
the doc (readme.md) says what link to use if not using the qr code
Right, the link where you substitute the IP and Port for that one part
http://MM_IP_Address:MM_Port/modules/MMM-Config/review
I tried the Pi’s IP and Port 8080, and got this error:
Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server
at 192.168.1.13:8080.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or
too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check
your computer’s network connection.
• If your computer or network is protected by
a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is
permitted to access the Web.I also tried adding in that ShowQR: true line; it didn’t give me a QR.
Any ideas where I might be getting it wrong?

@halpi-thousand if the mm config says
address:“localhost”,the Only apps INSIDE the pi can connect
if u want to connect from outside the pi (phone, tablet, ??? )
then u have to change address and ipWhitelist
to allow outside machines anto connect
it’s showQR not ShowQR
case matters in MagicMirror, everywhere

I checked, and it’s set up as localhost. That shouldn’t be a problem, this one isn’t headless. Two displays and a wireless keyboard/trackpad.
Also, showQR is correct spelling and case. -
@halpi-thousand what position is it configured for? I don’t see it on screen.

Exactly the problem, it doesn’t show up. It’s set up for upper left, last in line so it should be below the holidays and above the Earth. I copy/pasted right from your page instructions, and I kept an eye out for that bit with the missing bracket error I made in that other thing, so I figure it should be happy. Except for some reason it isn’t. I have no idea what it could be.

@halpi-thousand you did the npm install in the module folder, right?
can u look at where u start mm
npm start or
if pm2, then
pm2 logs–lines=50 -
Well, whatever I did, it worked enough to get the message about the QR code where it should be. Now to see if I can actually get the webpage to behave as well.
