Hi @hoangsa2t,
Very sorry for the trouble!
Can you please try the following?
1. Quit Local
2. Open /Applications/VirtualBox.app
3. Right-click on `local-by-flywheel`
4. Select `Reset` (this is the same as restarting)
5. Re-open Local

Tried the above and it doesn’t fix it. I get the message when I try to create a new site!

@eric,
1.4.2 is available here: [Local by Flywheel 1.4.2](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/local-by-flywheel-1-4-2/694)
Are you seeing the same error as @hoangsa2t?

If you’re getting the container is missing error then that most likely means the VirtualBox VM was deleted at some point.
Downgrading won’t help in that case. You’re going to need to restore the site from the site folder and the SQL files in the `app/sql` directory.

1.4.2 Still not working ☹
Application gets stuck creating site container
@clay do you know what could be causing this?
Thanks

But this is a new site I am trying to create? I never deleted the VM. Could it be caused by something else?

You can find it by going to Help » Reveal Local’s Log on macOS. Then, you can upload it here or e-mail it to [clay@getflywheel.com](mailto:clay@getflywheel.com).

hi @clay I have the same exact problem
I tried to reset the images in Virtual Box, but it was already stopped. So I restarted wit no success.
I tried also with instructions in this post: [https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/sites-refusing-to-start-after-latest-update-2-0-1/1568](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/sites-refusing-to-start-after-latest-update-2-0-1/1568) but with no success.
Don’t know what to do. Please help.
