      On a new installation

      var config = 
      {
        address: '0.0.0.0',
        ipWhitelist: [
          '127.0.0.1',
          '::ffff:127.0.0.1',
          '::1',
          '10.0.1.1/24'
        ],
        modules: [
      
      
      
          {
            module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
            config: {
              secureEndpoints: false
            }
          },
      

      The entire section is copied from another instance of MM where Remote-Control is working fine.

      On this new install I get

      Cannot GET /remote.html

      Help!

        In case you’re still interested…

        After fighting with this for I don’t know how long, for poops and giggles I changed the permissions on my modules/MMM-Remote-Control folder to full r/w for all users…

        Now I can access the remote control.

        YMMV, change permissions at your own risk, etc.

          '::1',
          '10.0.1.1/24'
          

          the 1st 3 mean ONLY the same machine as MM is running on
          and then also ONLY from address 10.0.1.1

            Interesting

            I’ve had that on an instance of MM I’ve been running for 5-6 years with Remote -Control and it’s always worked fine.

            I’ve been able to access the display and remote from anywhere on the network.

            So I just copied it over to the new one

              I’ve now changed it to

              var config = 
              {
                address: '0.0.0.0',
                ipWhitelist: [],
                modules: [
              
              
              
              
                  {
                    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
                    config: {
                      secureEndpoints: false
                    }
                  },
              

              Same problem with Canot GET /remote.html

              http://10.0.1.87:8080/ works fine and I see the MM display
              http://10.0.1.87:8080/remote.html leads to the error

                I removed the Remote-Control installation using

                rm -r -f  MMM-Remote-Control/
                

                Installed it using the instructions on the github repository

                cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                git clone https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control
                cd MMM-Remote-Control
                npm ci --omit=dev
                

                I now get the following - which doesn’t seem fatal at first glance -

                          To make it clear here as well: “require() of ES Module ... not supported” shows that you are using a very old (unsupported) Node version. Like I said in the GitHub issue, you have to update Node.

                          I recommend using NVM to update Node (like recommended on the Node website).

                                @sdetweil Yup, that’s what I have - sample of config here:

                                let config = {
                                	address: "0.0.0.0",	// Address to listen on, can be:
                                							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
                                							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
                                							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
                                							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
                                	port: 8080,
                                	basePath: "/",	// The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
                                									// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
                                	ipWhitelist: [],	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses
                                									// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :

                                									// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :

                                    @Ypsimm interesting. Git clone should set the permissions that way.

                                    Did you install the module some other way than git?

                                      @sdetweil Originally? Quite possibly something other than git, but it’s been such a long time since I first installed that I couldn’t tell you for sure.

                                      Most recently, yes, git clone was one of the methods I tried after completely removing the module and attempting reinstalls. Not sure if the module install doesn’t do it like the full application clone would or what, but it’s been running just dandy since the manual change. I’m curious to see if anything changes after the next update or three.
