Error creating machine

CauLand · May 31, 2018, 10:39am

Hi everyone, here I got some troubles: after installation which goes fine Local can’t launch the Host machine. I tried to unistall and reinstall Local and VirtuaBox. I’m running Local on my Macbook Pro and OsX 10.13.4.
Someone can help me please?
Here is the log:

Same Problem since 24 hours. Can not create machine and process gets stuck on host machine. I am on windows 10. It was working fine for six months on this machine and yesterday i was cloning one website and it hanged. Since then I can not make local work.

Five installs and uninstalls of VM and Local and also removal of git, android studio but
same problem persists. Here is my log file.

I also have this problem, i can not access my web sites. I need a fix!

clay · August 17, 2018, 9:15pm

@CauLand,

Sorry for the delay!

Please try the following:

Quit Local if it’s running
Open Terminal
Run the following command and provide your password when prompted:

sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart

Go to System Preferences » Security & Privacy
Click on the “Allow” button if present
Re-open Local

@virendra,

Again, I apologize for the late response!

If you’re still having this problem, please try manually updating VirtualBox and then restart your PC.

@bunnierabbi,

Can you please provide your local-by-flywheel.log file? See “How do I retrieve Local’s log file?” for instructions on how to do so.

bunnierabbi · August 18, 2018, 1:00am

Yes thank you, I ended up updating VB and the virtual machine and LOCAL started, finally.
I used that startup sudo command.

Here is my log file @clay

When my machine was not starting (aka stuck in the 'starting machine" screen ) , I 1. copied the data of the current sites. Reinstalled Local, Reinstalled an older version of Virtual BOX, deleted, reinstalled newest version of VB, and flywheel, and my virtual machine starts and the Local dashboard is running, but I can not start any of my sites.

It says

" Your wp-config.php file has an empty database table prefix, which is not supported."

I have checked the “wp-config.php” file and confirmed the $table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

I have the “Local Sites” files loaded into the root folder on my HDD as deafault. I copied the existing sites and then replaced and renamed them when I reinstalled Local by Flywheel.

Any Ideas on how to start my local sites? I need to be able to somehow work on at least one of them in the meantime!
