Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080
at Object._errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
at _exceptionWithHostPort

This typically means that another application or program is using the port (8080) that MagicMirror uses. You would have to resolve that issue

@mykle1
Thanks for the info, can’t find out who is using port 8080, but I changed in the config to use another port.
Now all is working. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

@johans

Well done, mate. :thumbsup:

Johans

@mykle1 FYI
Meanwhile I found the problem of port 8080, due to some malware on that PC, the proxi settings where modified, only option was to re-install OS. Lucky I had some backup so that didn’t took so long.
Now proxi settings are no longer hi-jacked and I can run MM normally.
Problem solved!

Ahh, Windows. I no longer use it for MM. I’m strictly a ubuntu 16.04 LTS guy now.

Hi. quick question. the MM work with the basic modules. as soon as i try to install a 3rd party module i have a syntax error. Checked and rechecked the code and there is no error. is there special thing to add code thant im not aware of

sdetweil

@djniuss from the MM folder do

npm run config:check

fix errors from top down

djniuss

@sdetweil Thank you sir. All is good now.

Other question.

is there a way to acces to mirror server from another device ( like the rpi does)

i have withelisted all ip. and cant seem to connect. i have created rules in the windows firewall and router and still nothing.

instead og localhost if i enter 0.0.0.0 i only have a black screen.

is this possible . im building a smaller mirror and would like to connnect to the mirror that i already have running.

Thanks

djniuss

forgot to mention that i can acces the server from chrome on the cpu thats running the mirror
