Hi @ioborin

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.

I removed your login credentials since we can’t use those to access.

Can you try changing your Router Mode and see if that makes a difference? [What is Router Mode? - Local](https://localwp.com/help-docs/advanced/router-mode/)

Does your username/password contain any special characters or spaces?

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.

I checked but there isn’t 10005 PID.

Hi @ioborin

Can you share a fresh Local Log here so we can see if anything is different or not?
