[SOLVED] API Error: 400 - Missing device_secret parameter

Help and Troubleshooting
#1

I already have the .bash_profile with

export MATRIX_DEVICE_ID=…
export MATRIX_DEVICE_SECRET=…

and use source .bash_profile. When I use echo $MATRIX_DEVICE_ID and echo $MATRIX_DEVICE_SECRET I get

MATRIX_DEVICE_ID=…
MATRIX_DEVICE_SECRET=…

but when I use NODE_ENV=rc node index.js in matrix os and I get this error.

API Error: 400 - Missing device_secret parameter.

#2

I have the exact same issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

@spartacus_mcfly are you using sudo NODE_ENV=rc node index.js or without sudo?

#4

With sudo it give me the same error as you. API Error: 400 - Missing device_secret parameter.
Without sudo it gives me a bunch of permission denied errors.
The id and secret environment variable are set

Same issue here, thanks in advance for any help.

Here is my console:

pi@raspberrypi:~/matrix-os$ echo $MATRIX_DEVICE_ID
dfb071xxxx

pi@raspberrypi:~/matrix-os$ echo $MATRIX_DEVICE_SECRET
fa6ffxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    

pi@raspberrypi:~/matrix-os$ sudo NODE_ENV=rc node index.js

@spartacus_mcfly @cwilsonhsv

I know what is the problem. First in the terminal in matrix os folder use

sudo chmod 777 db/*

then use NODE_ENV=rc node index.js without sudo.
