503 Service Unavailable after update

Support
1

Cannot access my WordPress admin panel after updating Local to the latest version.

It happens on all of my Local sites now. They all worked before.

Since the update I created a new site with the default settings and when I click on the open site button in Local the site loads however when I click the WP Admin button I get a 503 Service Unavailable error in the browser.

I updated to the latest version of local and this started to happen so I downgraded to my last workiong version of 6.7.0 and its still gives me the 503 error.

I am working on a Mac with OS 10.14.6 Mojave

I have attached the Local log if it helps.

Hi @Jaycreate69

Is your One Click Admin enabled or disabled? If it’s disabled and you toggle that on are you able to get in?

Hi @Nick-B,

Thanks for responding to my question. The One Click Admin doesn’t seem to work either. I have attached a .gif file to show you what happens when I click it. It doesn’t give me a user option in the ‘Select Admin’ dropdown box. So obviously I cannot get into the admin panel that way either I’m afraid.

Kind regards

Hey @Jaycreate69

If you change your PHP version to 7.3.5 does it work?

Hi @Nick-B,

Thanks for your suggestion. It worked a treat. I can now access my dashboard fine in my browser and I get no errors.

Many thanks
Jason

Glad to hear it! I believe the issue is with your OS version reaching its end of life. While you’ll still be able to use Local with older versions of PHP, until you update to a more recent OS you won’t be able to access the latest PHP releases. You can read about our minimum requirements here:

To see a breakdown of macOS EOL you can check here:

Hmm that’s just typical as I cannot upgrade my OS as some of my other apps will not work so I guess I’ll just have to wait until I can upgrade.

Thanks again Nick

No problem @Jaycreate69! As mentioned you’ll still be able to use Local it’s just that certain newer features may be inaccessible. Happy Developing :green_heart:
