Cannot access MM2 across the network - localhost ok

[sdetweil]

@dangerousden this error is reported when there are 2 commas in a row between modules

      },,
      {
          module: "foo",

the next release shows this error in detail,

 Your configuration file contains syntax errors :(
Line 1726 column 9: Unexpected comma in middle of array.

node -c doesn’t report it

@sdetweil Thank you for your prompt response. Apologies that mine is not so prompt. I didn’t get notifications about your reply.

Node -c config.js didn’t seem to do anything. It just returned to CLI

I’m having problems copying the config.js via Pi Connect, so I will get back to you when I return home.

TIA

@sdetweil

As soon as you pointed out the double comma, I spotted it. Amazing how despite 2 hours of double checking, I missed that I had left a comma before a {

thank you, that has resolved the config error, but I still don’t have access via IP, just localhost

Regarding my failure to access MM via IP, but only localhost, does this mean anything to anyone??
I have installed VNC, so am wondering if this is causing problems

you are using node 24, I am using node 22. but that shouldn’t matter…

you should see these messages a few lines back from the info
