MM will not start

[sdetweil]

@bworch i do not know

but you could edit the installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
(this is how I give the pretty name, not the script name)
file and change the name to mm (check the paths as well)

{
  "apps" : [{
    "name"        : "MagicMirror",
    "script"      : "/home/pi/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh",
    "watch"       : ["/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js"]
  }]
}

and then do (delete old, add new)

pm2 delete MagicMirror
pm2 save
pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
pm2 save

@sdetweil thanks for all your help.

I followed your instructions, and it still will not start. I also restart the pi. this is what I have now.

thanks

@bworch do

pm2 logs --lines=100

may be better without pm2 for debug

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

wait 15 seconds
ctrl-c

edit the somefile.txt

@sdetweil couldn’t get the txt file to show. how would I edit it.

[sdetweil]

@bworch nano somefile.txt

or whatever text editor you like
