      var config = {
      	port: 8080,

      	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
      	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],

            Are you sure it’s named config.js ?

            I just copied what you posted and it fired right up.

                Hello,

                You must to have config.js in this path : cd /MagicMirror/config!
                If you use Putty
                0_1502824906699_config.PNG
                If you use WinSCP
                0_1502825013524_WinSCP.PNG

                If it does not work. I advise you to copy the original config.js.

                  Did MagicMirror install without any errors?
