I cannot access the server for one of my sites (have no problem with the others). I get the following error:

![Flywheel_Server_Error_Screenshot](http://community.localwp.com/images/transparent.png)

The problem began after I changed the General Settings in WP. Essentially, I inadvertently changed the [Site Address (URL)] from the local address to the site’s actual domain address.

Hey @maikanorthrop –

This could be an issue in a couple of places. Have you tried updating the URL to it’s original local domain in the Local app?

So something like `mariefabiolalopez.local`.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the quick reply! Tried that and still getting the above error. See attached:

That is definitely odd!

What browser are you using to view the site?

Can you please provide your `local-by-flywheel.log` file? 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.
