      @lavolp3 this was in the LOG of pm2:

      Error ENOENT no such file or directory, open ‘packages.json’

      I think the command was open packages.json

        @dariocas So the error message was created on startup of the mirror? And the mirror did not start?
        Can you start the mirror without pm2?

        cd ~/MagicMirror
        npm start dev
        

        Can you post the complete log of the process?
        Can you post what is inside the file that was created for the pm2 process?

        Still not enough information to help, sorry.

          @lavolp3 The Mirror does start if i start it manually.

          this is the whole error log:

          and this is the log out:

          These are the logs of pm2.
          The Mirror does not start if i start it from pm2.

          thanks for helping! :)

            I have the same problem.

            I installed a fresh MM with pm2. The MM started. But after a reboot the MM does not start automatically.

            Unfortunately I have no idea.

            It would be grateful, if someone could help me.

            Thank you in advance

              I would suggest to both of you to follow the complete guide setting up pm2 and the autostart again. It doesn’t take long.

              Besides that, what does

              pm2 status
              

              give you after reboot?

                pm2 status is

                pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 status
                
                │ Name        │ id │ mode  │ status │ ↺      │ cpu │ memory 
                │ MagicMirror │ 0  │ 2.6.0 │ fork   │ online │ 799 │ 0%     │ 16.8 MB   │
                
                 Use `pm2 show <id|name>` to get more details about an app
                

                and in pm2 log I get this every two seconds

                pi@raspberrypi:~/.pm2 $ tail -f pm2.log
                2019-02-15T15:36:47: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:0] online
                2019-02-15T15:36:48: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:0] exited with code [1] via signal [SIGINT]
                

                I tried the complete guide with creating an .sh-File and so on. But unfortenately with the same effect.

                  @klinge can you first do

                  pm2 stop all
                  

                  and then

                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                  npm start dev
                  

                  Maybe you can see what happens there.
                  It seems that pm2 is running the magicmirror start script but MagicMirror won’t start

                      Thank you for your help.

                      But suddenly a miracle happened.

                      Tomorrow morning I switched on my monitor and the MM runs. And I did not do anything. And I really haven´t a intelligent reason.

                      Now, when I reboot the Raspberry, the MM starts automatically.

                      Thank you for your time.

                        I’m glad you got it working correctly. :thumbsup:
