Local fails to start after reinstalling VirtualBox

taylorsuk · August 24, 2017, 4:41pm

I had to remove VirtualBox as part of a security audit (the version shipping with local is out of data and gave security alerts). However when trying to reinstall Local I’m having real issues.

I’ve tried literally everything on this forum including removing files in Application Support etc etc…

here is my log file.

Hi @taylorsuk,

Sorry for the trouble!

What is Local showing in the main window?

taylorsuk · August 24, 2017, 7:22pm

Hi @clay I hope they are paying you well, you’re all over this forum!

Just starting local machine and a loading bar…

clay · August 24, 2017, 7:27pm

Haha, I try!

Based off of what’s in the log I’d try the following:

Browse to ~/Library/Application Support/Local by Flywheel in Finder. You can get there easily by pressing Cmd + Shift + G.
Create a file named nfs.json containing { disabled: true }
Relaunch Local

taylorsuk · August 24, 2017, 7:40pm

Ok, I can get into local now…

However I’m getting the following errors.

clay · August 24, 2017, 7:48pm

Are these errors on brand new sites or are Test and Test2 existing sites?

If it’s the latter, can you try creating a new site?

taylorsuk · August 24, 2017, 7:52pm

Nope, brand new…

clay · August 24, 2017, 7:55pm

Ah, okay.

One more thing to try:

Go to Preferences » Advanced
Toggle “Faster Docker Volumes”, wait for notifications saying it succeeded
Try creating another site

If that doesn’t help, can you provide the log again?

taylorsuk · August 24, 2017, 8:03pm

It won’t start again

@clay I managed to solve the issue with the help of this error.

Basically the issue was due to the macOS firewall being set to it’s most strict setting - blocking incoming connections.

I forgot that I had switched this on… After doing this I had to remove the machine from Virtual Box and restart Local, it ran the build of everything again and I think all is working ok now.

Cheers!

@taylorsuk,

Rock on—glad you figured it out!

I appreciate the screenshot as well! I’ll see if there’s a way to ensure Local works even with that enabled.
