config error somewhere, need help

TaylorTech22

I ran it through a syntax validator and everything checks out with that, but I’m still getting the Please create a config file error. I was modifying the MMM-iFrame module and hit a wrong key and the config closed. after bringing it back open i saved and reloaded and now nothing. I cant figure it out. Thanks for any help. Here’s my config file:

var config = {
        port: 8080,
        ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // 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"],

@TaylorTech22 do you have the following line at the bottom?

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

also is your config file named correctly

TaylorTech22

@strawberry-3.141 yes i do i just didnt include in the copy-paste

TaylorTech22

@strawberry-3.141 config/config. js is what I enter

iamoric

@TaylorTech22 Did you to remove the modules one by one to see which one is going wrong ?

cowboysdude

My suggestion would be start over… use the standard config and add one thing at a time…see if it works then add the next until you get to what’s not working…

cowboysdude

@TaylorTech22 said in config error somewhere, need help:

@strawberry-3.141 config/config. js is what I enter

What do you mean?

strawberry 3.141

another thing I could spot from viewing your config is that the timezone for the clock module should go into a config: {}, but this will not help you out with the black screen.

Sean

Somebody should make EASY configuration system, or… all module developers should provide DEFAULT ACTIVE SAMPLE CONFIGURATION.
Or, at least, neater JSlint parser should be supported.

@Sean all you mentioned exists
