@kurt [PM2][ERROR] script not found

did you follow these steps to create the script? https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror

kurt

@strawberry-3.141
yes I did it following the steps in that wiki

Shouldn’t pm2 start mm be executed in ~ and not in ~/MagicMirror ? The tutorial said to create mm.sh in ~

So please go back one folder with cd .. or directly with cd ~ and try again

kurt

@yawns
this is what I get,
do you think it is a good idea to start the install routine once again from the beginning? pi@raspberrypi:~ $
in my modules folder there is no PM2 folder. Should there be one?
Thanks a lot for help

If you want to start the process with npm start then you have to do that inside ~/MagicMirror
However if you want to use pm2 then I would advise following the instructions again: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror

pm2 seems to be working fine on your raspberry, so I would start here:

Make a MagicMirror start script. To use PM2 in combination with MagicMirror, we need to make a simple shell script. Preferable, we put this script outside the MagicMirror folder to make sure it won’t give us any issues if we want to upgrade the mirror.

cd ~
nano mm.sh

Add the following lines:

cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

Save and close, using the commands CTRL-O and CTRL-X. Now make sure the shell script is executable bij performing the following command:

chmod +x mm.sh

You are now ready to the MagicMirror using this script using PM2.

@yawns
my first step was to make this start script following the instructions.
the mm.sh with the script cd ~/MagicMirror DISPLAY=:0 npm start is now in my /home/pi folder.
When I try to start the mm by npm start I get this (the mirror is not appearing):

  errno: 'EADDRINUSE',

Thank you

yawns

EADDRINUSE means, there is another process running and listening on port 8080
It looks like the magicmirror somehow is running already.

@yawns
By now the PM2 does its work! Great!
When I put the pi away from electricity and then start the pi again, PM2 starts the mirror :slight_smile:
But when I make some changes in Edit modulesor Einstellungen, save them, the changes are not shown, also after restarting the mirror but I get Error!also after restarting the mirror.
So by now some features work :slight_smile: some still need some time or a little push…
Thank you

Hi @mochman !
Is there any chance to change the caption that it is shown of each module?
For example, I’ve got 2 clocks modules, so I can see what time is it in 2 different countries. But when I go to the Remote control I see 2 “Clocks” and don’t know which is the clock I’m hiding or showing until I press the boton.
Is it possible to change the caption in the control?

Kind regards
