MMM-PIR-Sensor restart problem

[MichMich]

EADDRINUSE:::8080 means there is already an app running on port 8080. Probably the app itself which you already started once. If you can’t figure out how to quit it, simply restart your Pi. This should solve it.

@MichMich Thanks for your fast replay. I restart my Pi several times, but I have always the same problem. My MagicMirror starts normal and after 2 seconds the screen goes black.

[MichMich]

With the same error?

[trividar]

Yes with the same error…

Now i have disconnect the cables from pir sensor and restart my pi. After reboot my pi my Magicmirror start automaticlly normal and after 2 seconds they got again black. That crazy thing is, I press ctrl+w and the blackscreen goes away and the the Magicmirror works “under” the blackscreen well…

@trividar try changing the port in the config.js from 8080 to 8888 and reboot.

[trividar]

@paviro I have now the same error just with 8888.

How do you start your Mirror?

[trividar]

with autostart (from wiki).

[MichMich]

It somehow probably starts multiple instances. Disable the auto start and try to get it working manually first.
