Hi everyone ive recently come across this site. I have ran the main installation to my pi via ssh i have manually gone onto the pi file manager and into the directory or MagicMirror and tried running index.html

BUT

I have a message come up saying about the config file?? I am currectly stuck and unsure on what to do.

I would appreciate any help please.

Did you copy the config.js.sample file in the /config folder to config.js, as described in the documentation?

This is a screen shot of the directory from github (left) and then what files are on the pi (right) is this correct?

@MichMich I have tried renaming the file that is in that folder to just say config.js and restarted the pi but still getting the same issue.

So, you made a copy of the config.js.sample file and renamed it to config.js, and then you run the mirror and it says your config is missing or has errors?

Can you post your terminal output here?

@Mykle1 yes thats correct. What do you mean by post terminal output? Sorry im a newbie at this.

@PCPAYN3

Check that the config.js file is inside the MagicMirror/config/ folder. Unless you made changes to the sample file itself before copying and renaming, that should work.

Your terminal, where you run your commands to launch the mirror. You would copy and paste the information in that window here. It’s probably a good idea for you to copy and paste your config.js file here as well.

Please select the code block option when pasting </>

@Mykle1 is there a command i should be running when the pi boots? As i have been going into the folder and loading the index.html file from there.
