Linux - Cannot Creat Site (Hosts File?)

[ColAng]

Greetings,

Long time wordpress user, long time linux user, first time flywheel user. Cannot create a site. Installing the deb file goes without a hitch.

Have tried to find answers RE hosts file, but nothing works. Yes, I did try to find an answer.

Particulars:

Brand new install.

local-5.6.6-linux.deb

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS \n \l

$ uname -a
Linux dev9 5.4.0-42-generic #46~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 10 07:21:24 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ ls -l /etc/hosts
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 666 Jul 23 10:10 /etc/hosts

Can’t create a site. Fails with “Uh-oh!” can’t write to hosts.

Can’t see how to attach log file, but it is available.

Thank you,
Angus

Like so many other threads/topics I’ve found here, this one is unanswered and will eventually die alone. I’ve moved back to LAMP. It just works. In truth, I never ‘left’ LAMP. Local By Flywheel is something I’ve seen referred to by several folks. I’m interested in things, so thought I’d give it a try.
