I notice a couple of things that might be going on:

  1. There’s a slightly newer version of Local that’s been released. Can you try installing that and see if that allows you to create sites? Releases - Local

  2. I also see that the OS that’s running is Big Sur. Other users have mentioned issues with trusting the SSL certificate (which appears to be what’s going on here)

    Can you try the solution found in this topic and let me know if it gets things working?

Let us know if either of those things get you what you need or if you run into anything else that isn’t working for you!

Hi,
The problem is still there with the latest Local 5.9.4, Big Sur and M1 Macbook pro. Also, quite often I have to go to the Preferences >> Advanced and switch router mode to localhost. Otherwise no sites will open.
