Local 2.0.6 Hangs on Start up

Support
1

Local just hangs at “Starting Local Machine…”. I checked the Virtual Box and it says that it is running. I’ve tried restarting the local machine and VB responds. I’ve tried stopping the VB using it’s GUI and it responds (stops, starts), but Local does not change.

I’ve attached my log file: local-by-flywheel.log (80.0 KB)

Hi Gabe,

Sorry for the trouble!

Can you please try the following?

  • Open Terminal.app

  • Run and copy the output of the following command:

"/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/virtual-machine/vendor/docker/osx/docker-machine" start local-by-flywheel
  • Run and copy the output of the following command:
"/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/virtual-machine/vendor/docker/osx/docker-machine" env local-by-flywheel

Thanks for the reply.

Terminal response to first command

(local-by-flywheel) Check network to re-create if needed...
(local-by-flywheel) Waiting for an IP...
Too many retries waiting for SSH to be available.  Last error: Maximum number of retries (60) exceeded```

Terminal response to the second command:
```Error checking TLS connection: ssh command error:
command : ip addr show
err     : exit status 255
output  : ```

Thanks!

Can you now please try the following in Terminal?

  1. Run vboxmanage controlvm local-by-flywheel poweroff
  2. Run "/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/virtual-machine/vendor/docker/osx/docker-machine" stop local-by-flywheel
  3. Run "/Applications/Local by Flywheel.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/virtual-machine/vendor/docker/osx/docker-machine" start local-by-flywheel

How did we resolve this issue? I’m having the same issue in 2.1.2.

It was never resolved. They basically told me “tough luck”. I stopped trying to use this service after that.

It took a lot of work, but I got mine working again. Had to delete the virtual box entry and then Local built a new one. Even then I had to restart the virtual box from within Local to get it to work. Oh and restore all old sites. Major pain and I have no idea what I did to make this happen.

@TwisterMc,

Glad you got it working again! Also, I apologize for the pain that is restoring sites from existing Local folders. This is something we’re prioritizing. In Local 2.2.1 there will be a button for restoring sites with one-click.

@gabelloyd,

I apologize for not getting around to you sooner. You may want to try what @TwisterMc did.

That’s good to hear. I have about 12 sites that still need to be restored. :slight_smile:
