Hi @tpkelley84, thanks for reaching out!

That is an odd error; it is possible that bumping the MaxRequestLength may resolve the issue. Before we get there, which operating system are you running Local on? And which version of Local are you running?

Does this happen when you’re clicking around on the site, or just when trying to install a plugin or theme? Does it happen on all of plugins/themes, or specific ones?

Sorry, I was dealing with a personal issue today.

I am on Windows 11 Pro. This started about this past Friday. I tried to install the DIVI Theam plugin and I got an error. I tried other plugins but it still does the same thing. When I switched over to ngnix, it worked fine. I had to reformat my drive and it is still the same problem. I also tried to change the MaxRequestLength and, well, it is still a problem.

No worries! Does this happen on all of your sites using Apache, or just this particular site? I’m going to see if I can reproduce the issue…

In the meantime, can you upload a .zip of your Local logs here so I can take a look? Here is a guide on how to do that - Retrieving Local’s Log File - Local
