Attempting to use Local after using Pressmatic previously

Hi there. I was a Pressmatic user for a period of time last year. I had some issues with it and continued using MAMP instead. I thought I’d give Local a shot, but I’m having what seems to be the same issues I had with Pressmatic.

Right now I can’t get through the install process. It seems to create and start the Virtual Box just fine. Though, during that step I notice this in the log:

Aug 30, 2017, 2:59 PM CDT - info: [main/docker-create-machine] null 'About to remove pressmatic\nWARNING: This action will delete both local reference and remote instance.\n' 'Error removing host "pressmatic": Host does not exist: "pressmatic"\nCan\'t remove "pressmatic"\n'

I don’t know if that’s leading to any subsequent stalls. I don’t see any additional errors after that. It just never begins the “Local Image” step on the welcome screen. It stalls at:

Aug 30, 2017, 3:01 PM CDT - info: [main/docker-create-machine] To see how to connect your Docker Client to the Docker Engine running on this virtual machine, run: /Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/virtual-machine/vendor/docker/osx/docker-machine env local-by-flywheel
    at exports.(anonymous function) (/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/helpers/process-exports-vars.js:1:6170)
    at /Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/main/actions-docker/set-docker-env.js:1:8920

I am never prompted to enter my user info on my machine to give Local access to the system.

Any ideas? I’ve performed a couple attempts at the install. I’ve removed the machine from Virtual Box before trying subsequent installs – including going into the .docker directory and removing the machine from the machines directory.

I tried complete deleting Virtual Box and it’s directories and then reinstalling Local, allowing it to install VB from scratch. Still no luck. Hangs at:

Hi @apmeyer,

Sorry for the trouble!

Can you please try deleting the following directories and then retry Local’s installer?

  • ~/Library/Application Support/Local by Flywheel
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Pressmatic

If the issue persists, please provide the entire local-by-flywheel.log file.

That may have actually did the trick. The installer completed and it look like I’m in good shape. I haven’t created an sites yet, but if that gives me any trouble I’ll report back. Thanks.
