Issues starting sites in Windows 10 with Local 5.6.2

With new version, I can’t even run websites anymore. I tried to switch the PHP version, and I ended up with this:

Web server and PHP/WP version don’t even load, just stuck at loading. There is no way to start the website. I tried to make the clone of the website, but clone is also broken.

Here is the log file when the start site error happens:

local-lightning.log (5.9 KB) local-lightning.log (5.9 KB)

I also tried to reinstall Local, but nothing changes. The website I tried to change PHP version is no longer able to start.

Hi Milan,

So sorry for the trouble with 5.6.2 on Windows 10.

If you create new sites, are you able to start them?

Problem is only with websites I tried to change PHP version, or clone of such website. Previously created website start OK, and new websites start mostly OK (if I choose PHP 7.3 or 7.4, PHP 5.6 website created new is also broken).

Got it.

Can you try the following?

  1. Close Local if it’s running
  2. Navigate to %AppData%\Local and remove the lightning-services folder
  3. Re-open Local
  4. Create a new site using PHP 5.6 or PHP 7.4 and see if it loads

Nothing changes.

Darn. In that case, you can you provide your log again after creating a new site with PHP 5.6 or 7.4? I’m curious what’s showing up there.

Thanks for your patience regarding this!

New site creation works fine with 5.6.6, but I still can’t start sites that got broken before, and the error from my first post is still showing. How can I start the website that is broken? I have attached log from the Local startup to the end when I try to run the broken site.
