Installation crashing on 'Local Image'

Support
1

Hello,

I had trouble installing Local, so I had to following this guide:

This worked, and the installation works - but only for ‘VirtrualBox’, ‘Host Machine’ and then it crashed on ‘Local Image’. I’ve waited over an hour but had no luck.

I’m on a relatively new MacBook Pro running macOS Sierra

Please see the attached screenshot.

Please help! Thank you in advance.

Bumping this, because I’m having a similar problem.

My install hangs, not crashes, on Local Image. The rotating icon just keeps turning, but no progress. Screenshot attached.

Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.1

It’s the same for me. Any idea why?
Is there something I can do to help debug this? Thanks!

I was able to solve this issue by deleting some old entries created by Trellis in etc/exports.

Log showed:
Error: Command failed: sh “/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/shell-scripts/nfs-configure-mac.sh” “192.168…” “501” "20"
exports:2: path contains non-directory or non-existent components: /Users/…/Sites/…/site

Steps I took:

  1. Edit the /etc/exports (sudo vim /etc/exports)
  2. Remove the entries you want
  3. Save and close the file
  4. Restart the nfsd service (sudo nfsd restart)

After that Local started and ran without issue.

Hi all,

If you’re running into this issue and @free’s solution doesn’t help, please provide your log file.

You can find it by going to Help » Reveal Local’s Log.

Sorry for the trouble!

local-by-flywheel virtual machine is running and getting the error that the host does not exist? Is there a spelling error defining the host or what?

@whyanothererror,

Sorry for the trouble!

Please provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing.

Also, the entire local-by-flywheel.log is ideal.
