[image] RevConcept: Referenced from: /Users/Chris/Library/Application Support/Local/lightning-services/php-7.4.30+3/bin/darwin/bin/php (which was built for Mac OS X 11.0) Are you using PHP 7.4.3? You might need to drop down to 7.3.5. It looks like 7.4.3 isn’t compiled for your OS.

Hi @RevConcept It looks like you’re on macOS 10.13 which is below our minimum requirements for the latest versions of Local and PHP. You’ll still be able to use older versions of Local and PHP as you found with trying out 7, but the latest features won’t be available to you until you can upgrade yo…

Thanks for replying Nick, but I cannot run local at all! I removed Local 8 and went back to Local 7…but I cannot create sites etc. What might be going on?? What specific version is safe for my OS?

You might have to downgrade to a version below 6.5 so I’d try 6.4.3: [image] Releases Here are instructions for downgrading if you need: [image] Downgrade Local Version Downgrading Local may be used to troubleshoot issues presented with a newer ver…

When I install 7.2.1 I get this error: ncaught Exception: Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/Users/Chris/Library/Application Support/Local/machine-info.json’ at Object.openSync (node:fs:585:3) at Object.func [as openSync] (node:electron/js2c/asar_bundle:5:1810) at Object.writeFileSync (no…

As mentioned above you’ll need to go to a version below 6.5. In order to refresh here and start with a clean slate you could use the steps here: Export any sites that you have on Local and save them to a folder somewhere on your computer. If you can’t open the Local app you may have to manually …

Sorry my page wasn’t refreshed I didn’t se your last comment. I’m trying that now. Just curious: do you know how/why I was able to use Local 7 for so long? I had no issues until I tried to use PHP 8 and then tried to upgrade to Local8/the revert back. Just wondering.

If were you still using PHP 7 then that was why it was still working for you. The newer versions of PHP aren’t compiled for the older OSes so that’s where the break happened.

At some point in trying to remedy this, I saw this error before…but below is the message I get when I try to restore my export. Additionally, this is what I see when I try to access the site in browse: Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance …

Okay so you got Local 6.4.3 going but when you try to re-import your site you’re getting this error? How are you trying to restore your site? Are using steps like the ones below or just dragging and dropping a zip file into Local? [image] Import/Export a WordPress Site This help docume…

I cannot even spin up a new site. These are the errors I get: Error: Command failed: /Users/Chris/Library/Application Support/Local/lightning-services/php-7.4.30+3/bin/darwin/bin/php /Applications/Local.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/bin/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar --path=/Users/Chris/Work /Site Deve…
