The next move I made was to uninstall Local to re-install it on another hard drive. After I did that, I got a 502 error. How do i fix this so I won’t lose the work? Also, I keep having issues with creating a new site. The hard drive that I’m using has 700 gigs. I don’t understand why I am limited with this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/e/6/e6d668cc2982dd6afc35bb4d47d5ce0071a2716f.png) Also, here is the database files , ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/9/f/9fd09dceaf0d33fb443a3ce1d9a9bdbf98270073.png) ---

Hello @scarecrow202 - welcome to the Local community. 👋 Have you made an export of the Local site? That way you have a backup of your work. Here’s how to do that: [https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/how-to-export-a-wordpress-site-on-local/](https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/how-to-export-a-wordpress-site-on-local/) If you do that, are you able to re-import that exported version in your new Local? I would also recommend checking out this forum thread - I’m wondering if somewhere along the way the site URL was updated (either in the WordPress settings or within Local?) > [@This site WordPress URL settings do not match host set in local](http://community.localwp.com/t/this-site-wordpress-url-settings-do-not-match-host-set-in-local/24450/3): > > Hi Ben, Thank you but I am still struggling because I don’t know what the original URL setting was. And because I was so bright to fiddle with the settings. I can get access to the site. I am new at this and believe me I dropped what I found and it declines the files. I searched high and low in all files hoping to find the original URL settings but I can’t find it. Regards, Adele Let me know if either of these gets things working again, Sam ---

I have it, but I have noticed it’s for all my sites. I didn’t do a backup when I did a backup and tried to re-upload it. All of my sites are saying this. It’s funny; I was working on my site last night. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/c/5/c5838177ecc31730068c9fd7de4c4b9acbd1b4e9.png) This is the second or third time I have had this issue, plus alot of viruses from local. ---
