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 @michelmougenot

This might be due to the age of your OS and it having reached its end of life. Are you able to create a site or can you not open the Local app at all?

You might have to go back on our releases page and use an older version of Local. You won’t be able to use the latest versions of PHP and so on until you’re able to update your OS but you could still use the app and most of the features:

Hi Nick-B,
I tried to install a previous version (local-5.4.1-linux.deb), it works now, I can open the application, but I cannot create a site a window opens and I cannot create a site…

Hi @michelmougenot

If you change your Router Mode to Localhost are you able to proceed? Preferences>Advanced>Router Mode>Localhost
