I have some problems about config file

[greda]

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

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”],

Did MagicMirror install without any errors?

It is for just this type of situation that I wrote this:

@greda YES.I have saved my config.js to the right place```
/config/config.js

[AlexHpoin]

@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.

[cowboysdude]

@AlexHpoin You should just be in the directory

~MagicMirror/config
and type

cp config.js.sample config.js

@cowboysdude

Isn’t it crazy?

[AlexHpoin]

@cowboysdude I did…but it does not work…

[cowboysdude]

@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.

I’m curious. Did you even try or look at this?
