What issue or error are you experiencing? Cannot connect any database apps to the LocalWP database. I’ve done this for years on my iMac. I got a new Mac Studio and it’s no longer working. I’m getting the same results in Navicat and Sequel Ace. What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Fee…

Thanks @nickc 100% sure I’m using root/root. I’ve been using this setup for years without issue. The only difference is I’m now using a Mac Studio with an M2 Ultra. Everything I’ve seen before this morning smells like an issue with the Arm64 architecture. The only difference I’m seeing when the…

Are you otherwise able to create, access and interact with Local sites in your app aside from using your database tools? Are you utilizing the Apple Silicon version on this machine?

Thanks, @nickc . No security software in use. I appreciate you looking into it.
