We have a Windows Troubleshooting guide below that goes over some common items worth checking. For example, make sure you’re running Local as an admin user, that you don’t have any security blockers, and that Local has access to update your Hosts file.
Can you share a fresh log here? There are some different ways to access and share Local Logs. For us to be able to troubleshoot thoroughly, please click the Download Local Logs button from the Support tab in Local. This will generate a zip archive that contains the Local log along with some other diagnostic information to help quickly zero in on any issues that Local is encountering.
Hi @ioborin - I had a chance to look at your logs. Here is the exact error in question…
{“level”:“error”,“message”:“Error setting up MySQL user”,“service”:“mysql”,“serviceBinVersion”:“8.0.35”,“stack”:“Error: Command failed: %%userDataPath%%\lightning-services\mysql-8.0.35+2\bin\win64\bin\mysql.exe --password= -e ALTER USER ‘root’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘root’;\nmysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.\r\nERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘::1:10005’ (10013)\r\n\n at genericNodeError (node:internal/errors:983:15)\n at wrappedFn (node:internal/errors:537:14)\n at ChildProcess.exithandler (node:child_process:414:12)\n at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:518:28)\n at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1101:16)\n at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:304:5)”,“thread”:“main”,“timestamp”:“2025-05-16T14:19:05.319Z”}
MySQL fails to install, which means the site creation will fail. Specifically, it is trying to grab port 10005 and is unable to do so, probably because something else is using it.
Can you check out Resource Manager (StackOverflow example linked) to see if you can identify what is using port 10005 and if able, kill that process and try again? I’m curious to know what the conflict here is as well.
