creating a site from a blueprint or duplicating a site results in this error:  
Uh-oh! Unable to provision site.

_ **Security Reminder** _  
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hey @FrankS! Can you check if the PHP version is at least 8.2? I believe we have a bug around this with 8.0.

> Solved for me: I had the same error as shown in the screenshots whenever trying to clone (did not use a blueprint) and my Users/username/ Library/Application Support/Local/run/RANDOM\_STRING/conf folder was empty each time. I downgraded all the way to 8.2.0 and nothing worked. Then I toggled the PHP version of my site I was cloning from from PHP 8.0 to 8.2 and cloning worked again! Re-upgraded to Local 9.0 and it still worked!
