            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:

                @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 ?

                      @johnnyboy Thanks - I should have learned that by now, but… Haha. You know.

                      I ended up re-installing Raspbian as i messed up something so the wifi-card wasn’t recognized anymore.
                      I also followed the step-by-step guide at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/6 and got by the cleaning process. I then tried installing apache2 and PHP5 again; getting the same error as the one below.

                      When I try installing MM now, I get these errors:

                      I tried googling the error, but I’m not sure if I’m on the right track with solutions described.

                      Any ideas?

                        What are you installing PHP5 and apache2 for?
