        @smartsoldier We don’t know. Remove all the modules in config.js and add one-by-one. Let’s see what happens.

          @sean If I remove this module everything runs fine, then if I put it back this happens. Does that mean its this module or no?

            Are you willing to share the syntax error with us?
            I thought you were referring to the “create config file” message at startup.

              @smartsoldier Of course, it could be the fails of that module configuration.

                  No error at all. I didn’t modify anything.

                    Well I guess that settles that. I’ll just do a reinstall. Thanks for all the help though. You responded really quickly :)

                      @smartsoldier Please edit the post with the config.js and remove your private api keys, like apiKey and dropboxAccessToken.

                        I personally would not do a complete re-install, but I would re-install the modules according to their instructions.
                        Those modules would be:

                        MMM-DropboxWallpaper
                        MMM-forecast-io
                        MMM-DailyBibleVerse

                        In that order.
                        Btw, are all modules under the MagicMirror/modules directory ?
                        You yourself proofed that most stuff works.
                        @Sean proofed that your config is okay.

                        Btw, a simple ‘trick’ to disable a module is to put

                        disabled: true,

                        under the module name

                        and

                        disabled: false,

                        to enable it again.

                        Disabled:

                        module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper',
                        disabled: true,
                        

                        Enabled:

                        module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper',
                        disabled: false,
                        

                        This gives you a faster way of excluding ‘wrong’ modules.
                        Or simply to test a module, whilst leaving the config when the module is not needed.
