Local site works wth PHP7.4, but not with PHP8.2

[markratledge]

Hi,
I’m using the latest of Local on 10.14 Mojave OSX with a WP6.3 site pulled from WPEngine. For some reason, Local didn’t create a wp-config.php file, so I manually created one in the site folder and that worked.

Now the site works with PHP7.4, but doesn’t with PHP8.2 and throws the browser error “The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems.”

Using Nginx or Apache doesn’t make a difference; the router mode makes no difference. The installed standard OSX Apache is stopped. I raised RAM allocation in wp-config.php with no luck.

Any ideas?

Hi @markratledge

In order to utilize the latest Local releases and features you’ll need to be on macOS 10.15 or higher. More details on our minimum requirements below. You can still utilize older versions of Local/PHP but some features (like PHP 8.2) for example won’t be accessible.

Install Local

OK, thanks. The newest version on OS 10.15 worked.
