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,

Windows 10 21H2
The same thing happened to me. Local 6.4.0+5927
Apache, PHP 7.4.1, MySQL 5.728
WordPress 6.0
Tried to install Woocommerce - Plugin fails to install
So I tried to install it by uploading the plugin - I get a 500 document error
Tracked down the error in the logs

Added
FcgidMaxRequestLen 20000000 to apache2.conf.hbs
Then I got the “Missing a temporary folder.”
Following How to Fix "Missing a Temporary Folder" Error in WordPress
I added a temporary folder
Still getting the “Missing a temporary folder.”
Error message in the log is
{“thread”:“main”,“class”:“Process”,“process”:“httpd”,“level”:“warn”,“message”:“AH00558: httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using fe80::9990:788:e08f:7aad. Set the ‘ServerName’ directive globally to suppress this message”,“timestamp”:“2022-06-14T11:23:40.664Z”}

Added ServerName localhost to apache2.conf.hbs

Still getting the “Missing a temporary folder.” when I upload the Woocommerce plugin.

Now I’m stuck.

Interestingly - WP updated some theme translations without any problem.

Able to install Woocommerce without errors on nginx, PHP 7.4.12, MySQL 8.0.16; the default settings.

Hello there! This may be due to a recent bug that has surfaced. More details and information to follow here: Unable to upload media files on Windows when using Apache
