        @johnnyboy as I said earlier you can use single and double quotes, it doesn’t matter which one, but it has to be either " or ' and you used a backtick `, which is not working

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

            @johnnyboy said in messed up my config.. MM tells me to create a config file:

            };

            I see that you got one }; that are making the error should look like this }, if i am right but i am new to this to so i can be wrong :)

                  Hey,

                  I have some issues here too. Not very familiar with Linux and just got my first RPI, for this project specifically :)

                  I’ve been trying for hours now to get this to work, but MM just says that I need a working config file. I’ve tried editing the text in Sublime (I find it easier to read than the built in texteditor on Raspbian), but I can’t seem to find the errors.

                  I’m attaching the contents of my config file, minus the tokens and stuff:

                  /* Magic Mirror Config Sample

                  Any help is highly appreciated!

                      @johnnyboy Thanks for the leads! I’ll have a look at it.
                      I didn’t change the original file (or at least, I don’t think I did) - except for the alterations with keys and the Ruter-addon.

                      Stupid question: Is the config.js file supposed to be in the config folder, or should there be a /config/config (ie another folder called config) that contains the config.js ?

                        Yes
