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

          It shows please create a config file.

          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?

                        @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.
