Error importing site due to outdated OS libraries?

What issue or error are you experiencing?

I am unable to connect/import Wordpress environments from my WP Engine account into my Macbook Pro. When I do, I get this error:

I hit Ok and am able it seems to proceed with the import.

Once it’s completed, I am met with two errors. The first being:

The second screenshot pops up when I hit fix it.

The second error is:

I went through the steps in the link provided to no avail. I’ve done a clean install of Local and retried as well. I also tried running the localhost router with no success.

Some extra context:
The sites I’m attempting to import were all built recently on my Windows 11 PC which is all up to date. Due to reasons, I’m working remotely on my macbook pro which is quite old I admit but still within the minimum requirements for Local (barely).

Old sites I built on the laptop still run fine on Local weirdly enough.

Any insight to what I can do or whats going on would be greatly appreciated! If you need more information, just let me know. I’ve included the Log details as well.

Thanks for your time.

What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

Hard to replicate as I suspect it may be to outdated/mismatch libraries.


System Details

  • Local Version: Version 9.0.5+6706

  • Operating System (OS) and OS version: Macbook Pro Version: 10.15.7 (Catalina)

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.

Hi @Squach

Doing some searching it seems like this might be an issue due to your OS version. Are you able to update your OS further to at least Ventura on this machine?

Another workaround would be to create a custom site and try using the oldest PHP version available from the dropdown.

Hi Nick!

Sorry I forgot to include the details that my macbook pro is from 2013 so Catalina is unfortunately the latest available version for this model.

I will definitely try your workaround method.

Will update if I make any progress for anyone else who might run into a similar issue.

Edit; Okay it seems like I can’t even create a new site as I get the same error relating to mismatch OS, requiring OSX 13.0 and up.

Edit 2: Downgrading Local to 8.0 seems to fix the importing error issue. However, the routing problem still persists. Wondering if this may just be a proxy issue?

Have you tried changing your Router Mode to see if it resolves the problem?
