I have Local version 5.5.3 installed on my laptop running Windows 7 64 bit.

Currently the Local server is Nginx, PHP version 5.6.39, database MySQL 5.7.28. I did set it up using the Custom environment.

I am trying to recreate my live site written by XSitePro software into Wordpress format on Local before uploading the new Wordpress site.

The live site on my web host (Hostgator) uses Apache server.

On Local server, if I change from Nginx to Apache I get Internal Server Error but it works fine in Nginx.

Why can’t I get to the Local site when changed to Apache server?
