      Hello,

      You must to have config.js in this path : cd /MagicMirror/config!
      If you use Putty

      If you use WinSCP
      0_1502825013524_WinSCP.PNG

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

        @AlexHpoin said in I have some problems about config file:

        var config = {
        port: 8080,
        ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
        // 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”],
        // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
        // [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.3.0/28”],

        language: “zh”,
        timeFormat: 24,
        units: “metric”,

        modules: [
        {
        module: “alert”,
        },
        {
        module: “updatenotification”,
        position: “top_bar”
        },
        {
        module: “clock”,

        },
        {
        module: “calendar”,

        }
        ]
        }
        },
        {
        module: “compliments”,
        position: “lower_third”
        },
        {

        appid: “c8d34ea2cd422XXXX4b1101e96e894d1”
        }

        appid: “c8d34ea2cd422XXXXXXX101e96e894d1”
        }
        },
        {
        module: “newsfeed”,
        position: “bottom_bar”,
        config: {
        feeds: [
        {
        title: “New York Times”,
        url: “http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml”
        }
        ],
        showSourceTitle: true,
        showPublishDate: true
        }
        },
        ]

        };

        Did MagicMirror install without any errors?

                @greda I use :

                sudo mv /var/www/html/config/config.js.sample /var/www/html/config/config.js
                
                

                to create my config file,and then reboot.

                  @AlexHpoin You should just be in the directory

                  ~MagicMirror/config
                  and type

                  cp config.js.sample config.js

                        @AlexHpoin At this point I would just start over.

                        There’s really no way of telling what happened. There seems to be an error of some kind, whether it’s file permission or something didn’t install correctly.
