I cannot add a new site on Windows 10 Pro with WSL2 and Pengwin distro. No matter if starting Local through sudo or not, always the same problems:

Hey @SFAT.LLC, Welcome to the Local Community Forums!

This is a brave new world, and I think you’re likely the first person to try running Local on Pengwin under WSL2!

:tada: :larry: :tada:

From the error, it seems like Local wasn’t able to get admin permissions to “do something” - probably start up the various server processes.

It might be just a matter of a missing dependency under Pengwin, so a couple of things you can try:

  1. Install the regular Windows Version. This isn’t as cutting edge, so you’ll likely be able to get a site up and running, but then again, we aren’t breaking things and learning about new tech!

  2. Try a different distro? Local has been tested most under Ubuntu, so you might try installing Ubuntu under WSL2 and see if that gets Local to run for you.

Also, as we start to see more of this type of experimentation, you might check the other topics that are tagged as wsl2

I got the same SiteProcessManagerService: Unable to start site. -- {"stack":{}} error running Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL2… but the other poster in that thread seems to have it working! who knows. brave new world indeed.

Well yeah, running Windows version is an alternative, but of course the idea is to make it work inside my everyday dev environment :slightly_smiling_face:

@helgatheviking tried Ubuntu already, so there’s definitely something not right. And yes, I was trying elevated user. :man_shrugging:t3:
