@d3r That’s really curious. Because I do not have that problem with node serveronly.

I used to run node serveronly fine too. Then last week my sd card starting showing signs that it would die soon. So, I flashed raspbian on a new sd card and started fresh.

~ $ ls -lh /home/
total 4.0K
drwxr-xr-x 32 drpi1 drpi1 4.0K May 22 14:59 drpi1

I have the default pi user deleted for security reasons. That’s the only thing I did different on this card.
I think the list is different because it fails to load the config in node serveronly so the modules that are supposed to run do not.

node serveronly

It looks like you are running two different mirrors on that box. The list of modules loaded in each case is different. I think you’re logged in as different users, so the ~ folder is going to point to different spots.

What do you get in return when you run ls -lh /home/?

:~/MagicMirror $ node serveronly

and when I run npm start it does find the config which I find very strange.

~/MagicMirror $ npm start

Launching application.

In windows, open up a command prompt by clicking on the Start Button and then typing cmd in the search bar. Click on the first result and you’ll get a command prompt. Enter ipconfig and it will respond with your IP address. Take that IP address and add it to your whitelist value in your config.js. If you want to authorize every machine on your network, replace the final value in that ip address with 0 and add “/24”. In my case, it’s 10.0.0.0/24. In most other networks, it will be 192.168.0.0/24. That should allow any device on your local network the ability to view the Mirror by browsing to its IP address.

If you’re using Ubuntu or some other flavor of UNIX, ctrl+alt+t will get you a command prompt. The command in UNIX is ifconfig, not ipconfig. Don’t ask, because I don’t know why.

@onetwankyfive Were you able to get around this problem?
