Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @pzh20 welcome back! Glad to see you here again. Please give me some time to check the logs you provided. Could you also share the details of your site settings?

  • OS version
  • Local version
  • Web server
  • PHP version
  • Database
  • WordPress version

Hey @pzh20

From the error lines you provided, it looks Local is having issues working with the W: drive. Can you tell us a little more about that drive? For example, is it an external hard drive or in some way treated differently by the OS?

Also, can provide all the Local Logs? You can get a zip of those logs by clicking the “Download Local Log” button from the “Support” tab of Local. See this help doc for more information:

Not back at the computer until tomorrow, however, this is a NAS drive which works fine with everything else in windows.

I’ll get to full logs over tomorrow

Have you been able to try this again @pzh20? If you still need further assistance and can share those logs let us know!
