I’ve noticed some rather buggy behavior when utilizing Apache.

Today, I set up a brand new environment to start testing Gutenberg. PHP7.1, Apache, non-multisite.  
After I installed the Gutenberg plugin, I clicked New Post, and it gave me a blank screen where the editor should be.  
Tried it again, same.

I disabled Gutenberg. Regular post editor came up fine.

I tried PHP7. Same thing.  
I switched to Nginx, and it started working.  
I switched back to Apache, and it works again.

I’ve had similar issues with Apache on Local by Flywheel in the past. The worst was getting a Multisite set up.

What’s going on with Apache on LBFW?

Hi @WilliamBay,

Sorry for the trouble!

Do you see any errors in the PHP or Apache error logs in the site’s `logs` folder?

Hi Clay,  
Yeah, I’ve created Pastebin pages for you to have access to the error logs. Not sure what all will help, so I’m adding all the logs I can find.  
If it helps at all, I’m on Mac High Sierra. Brand new Macbook Pro, and I experienced this on both Chrome and Safari.

I know this just a data dump on you, but hopefully you can find something useful in it. I’m happy to answer any other questions you have as well.

Hey @WilliamBay,

Thanks for the log files!

The Apache log file is interesting, it shows that it’s getting a `SIGTERM` and then restarting. It looks like it might be related to the PHP errors in the PHP 7.1.4 error log. Specifically, the following error:

```auto
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting end of file in phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/vendor/rmccue/requests/library/Requests.php on line 54

```

Is WordPress up-to-date on that site? If not, I’d try updating it.

Otherwise, you may want to try reinstalling the core WordPress files by going to Dashboard » Updates and then clicking `Re-install now` under `You have the latest version of WordPress. Future security updates will be applied automatically.`

Hi Clay,  
I think I ended up doing that (manually) for a different reason. But WordPress was up to current version at the time.  
This issue only affected me that once. I was merely reporting a bug.

If I install Gutenberg again, and the issue repeats itself, I’ll let you know.  
Obviously things are still a bit early with Gutenberg. So it could be a number of things.

Thanks. Glad the logs gave you some insight.

William
