macOs Mojave  
Local 2.4.1

When I try to upgrade the preferred environment from 1.1.0 to 1.3.1 (using clone) on a multisite it fails with the following error message:

@soderlind

Local 2.4.2 with Preferred 1.3.2 is now available. You can download it here: [Local by Flywheel 2.4.2](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/local-by-flywheel-2-4-2/8415)

Could you update to Local 2.4.2 and let us know if the issue persists.

Sorry, but no cigar. I get the following when I try to open the new cloned site:

 ![Error%20establishing%20a%20database%20connection%202018-09-27%2001-08-28](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/e/eecd8ab1d7c94a79b14d290f015eb9dd744bef53.png)

and then this pops up again:

 ![error-local](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/3/349477828070935f6c761e2fb46c46867b2f6d85.png)
