midori cant connect to localhost

  • O

    Got magicmirror to start on a pi zero following instrustions that I found on this forum. Now when midori starts I’m getting a connection refused on localhost:8080. I can ping localhost fine from terminal and I’ve added /120 in my whitelist.

    Did you figure out this error? I’m having the same problem

    Honestly, I didn’t. I spent a few days off and on trying to get things going, finally I reached out to someone on the forum that had a working image and used that. I have a few more zero’s floating around though and I’m planning on trying again from scratch this weekend.

    I have managed to get it working by adjusting the start up script in the etc/init.d/ directory:

    Instead of:
    cd ~/MagicMirror

    I changed it to :
    cd /home/pi/MagicMirror

    Worked great for over 2 week… until I updated MagicMirror, the same error returned…
    (Connection refused)

    Got it back to work by starting all over.

    Here are my* notes/steps:
    *)I have gathered all these steps from all the contributers on this site.

    Start with a fresh Jessie lite image…

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb
    sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb
    sudo apt-get install npm
    sudo apt-get install git
    cd /home/pi/
    git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
    cd MagicMirror
    sudo npm install (This will take 30+ minutes)
    sudo apt-get install midori
    sudo apt-get install unclutter
    sudo aptitude install xinit
    sudo apt-get install matchbox
    sudo nano /etc/init.d/startMagicMirror.sh

    #!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          startMagicMirror.sh
# Short-Description: startMM
# Description:       starts MM
### END INIT INFO
cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
node serveronly &
sleep 20

    sudo xinit /home/pi/startMidori.sh
    sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/startMagicMirror.sh
    sudo update-rc.d startMagicMirror.sh defaults 100
    sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils
    sudo nano /home/pi/startMidori.sh

    #!/bin/sh
xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
xset s off # disable screen saver
xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device
matchbox-window-manager &
unclutter &
midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080

    sudo chmod a+x /home/pi/startMidori.sh
    sudo reboot

    @bbdv did you use Jessie or Stretch for that?
