Installing on a Pi Zero
-
@smolo Some suggestions: First, make sure that some form of IP address is present in the
address
key. Usually 127.0.0.1, but the IP address of your pi will probably work too. Without that value, the web server has a tendency to freak out.Second, make sure you are specifying the port in your web call. That one has bitten me a couple times.
Third, I would double-check your IP whitelist in the
config.js
. Possibly open it up to all connections and attempt to view the magic mirror from another computer. See if the problem is local to the PI Zero or if it is on a deeper level. -

First, as a supplement the installation is absolute standard except for another VNC server.
Chromium starts automaticly with http://localhost:8080I have already tested the following constellations before my post.
the local ip (192.168.2.84:8080)
127.0.0.1:8080
localhost:8080“err_connection_refused”
with https browser fault > “err_address_unreachable”
Other things :…
- ublock is inactive!
- Configuration vom MagicMirror Config:
var config = {
port: 8080,
address: “0.0.0.0”,
ipWhitelist: [], - Test from another pc > “err_connection_refused”
-
I’ve solved the problem and it’s going crazy. After I tried with a portscanner to find out if there is anything running I found out that there is no port 8080 open.
If somebody has problems checking the logs via "pm2 logs MagicMirror --lines 1000
I missed the npm module “moment” under “/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment”!!!:astonished_face:
Go to MagicMirror > “npm install” the problem was solved!:slightly_smiling_face:

thank you for help, i had to reinstal system once more becase there were a lot of errors.
After new instalation pm2 didn’t start properly. after few hours i found why.
In pm2_MagicMirrorPi0.json
line:
“script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirror.sh”,
should be :
“script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirrorPi0.sh”, -
which installer are you using? I don’t see the filename pm2_MagicMirrorPi0.json
or “script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirror.sh”,
in the raspberry.sh script… -
ah, ok… i see you followed the manual instructions back a few posts…
i have a modified raspberry.sh I have for testing, that takes user into account
