“uh-oh! unable to provision site

---

Hi ! I hope someone will be able to help. I can’t create a local site, haven’t found a solution after reading similar topics. I’m a new user and need step by step help…

My hosts file is NOT read only . I’m using Kaspersky and checked the fire wall

I have repeatedly fresh installed both for just my user and for all users

I have run as administrator

I have installed and tried with no programs running

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

System Details

• Local Version:9.2.8

• Operating System (OS) and OS version: Édition Windows 10 Professionnel
  Version 22H2

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 @margohop!

Being unable to update the Hosts file still seems to indicate some type of permission/security blocker.

If you’ve checked through all of the items on our Windows guide here-

Troubleshoot: Windows + Local

-Then maybe you could try a full uninstall / reinstall now as you might have changed something that’s just not refreshing. Uninstall Local - Local

If you’re still having trouble, let us know and please share your full Local Log: Retrieving Local’s Log File

Hey Nick-B !
Many thanks for your reply! (I’m starting to follow a course to build a
website and I’m afraid I’m falling behind…)
It’s still the same after full uninstall/reinstall Local. I wonder if the
problem might be other, or if I misunderstood something.

Thank you for your patience @margohop! I reviewed your local log with one of the Devs and it looks like you might be running into this issue below. You can give the steps in the comment linked a test and see if that finally gets things working here:

Oh Unable to provision site

Thanks for your logs, @sam2. It looks like you’re missing DLLs that MySQL needs to run. (The 3221225781 error code from your logs is status_dll_not_found.) Local normally installs these DLLs for you, but it could be that the DLL installer was blocked by antivirus or similar. Please could you try installing the DLLs from Microsoft’s site? The process looks like this: Quit Local. Download Microsoft’s VC Redist DLL installer. (This page describes what you’re installing if you want more info. Th…
