[AlexHpoin]

Last two weeks,I have began my project.But until now,I have faced a hard problems.
My config.js has gone through the check without any problem.
but It still can not work.
Could someone help me find out where is wrong?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

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"],

@AlexHpoin What happens when you boot it up?

[AlexHpoin]

Are you sure it’s named config.js ?

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

[tomyboy96]

@AlexHpoin Have u saved the config file in the right place?

[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.

Did MagicMirror install without any errors?

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

[AlexHpoin]

@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

[Mykle1]

@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.

[Mykle1]

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