      Oh, yes, you’re correct. The file should be renamed to “config.js”!

      Just got home from work and went route 1a) I figured that would be easier.

      alt text

      Please see photo above. If it doesn’t work, try right clicking and open it in another tab. If it doesn’t work, it was a picture of my config folder in my directory. It shows a picture of two files: “config.js”
      & “config.js.sample”

      Easy enough, now when I go to "http:///MagicMirror/ " I’m still getting the message that I need to create a config file. I’m confused. Do I need to make changes to the config file (i.e. put in my weather API key, location, etc before it anything will show up?

      Wow, thanks for the quick replies! Unfortunately, I’m at work right now, so I’ll have try these when I get home in ~4 hours and I’ll let you know know how it works out.

      So this what I’m getting:

      1a) Go to the File Manager, copy/pasta the file “config.js.sample” and rename it “config.js.sample”

      OR

      1b) Go into the config directory and “cp config.js.sample config.sjs”

      1. To check to see if it worked go to:

      “https:///MagicMirror/”?

      If it worked, I should be seeing some stuff there?

      If it didn’t, I should see what I have been seeing (i.e. that i need to create a config file)?

      Thanks again!

    • RE: Apache Permissions: can't duplicating config.js.sample

      Hello all!

      I’m also new to this sort of thing (little/no coding experience) and I too have been following online tutorials but haven’t been getting results… So, I switched to following the README, but haven’t made it very far.

      I’ve downloaded the necessary files from git hub using:
      (curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash)

      Due to my lack of coding knowledge, I’m unsure how to duplicate the config.js.sample file (so that the file becomes config.js) - referring to this line in the README:
      Duplicate "config/config.js.sample to config/config.js.

      I’ve tried typing this into the terminal under the magic mirror directory but nothing happens. I’ve also gone into my File Manager—> Directory Tree----> MagicMirror----> confi folder----> copied and pasted the “config.js.sample” file and renamed it to “config.js”.

      From there I’ve gone to https:///MagicMirror/ (from another computer on the same network)to see what it all looks like. I get a message that says I need to create a config file (of that mine has an error in it and to use a JavaScript Linter).

      Any and all help would be appreciated especially at an ELi5 level 😃 Thanks in advance!
