Hi @igorb, Can you please try the site creation again with MySQL 5.6 and then immediately provide your `local-by-flywheel.log` file? Please see “[How do I retrieve Local’s log file?](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/how-do-i-retrieve-locals-log-file/3720)” for instructions on how to do so. ---

Here’s the Flywheel log, seems it fails to upgrade from MySQL 5.5 to 5.6. It get stuck then at the last entry. [local-by-flywheel.log](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/2X/e/e75730349e33b477c2a56db4f73a4b1cea84d153.log) (44.5 KB)
