After encountering the issues of missing libraries during installation of Local and fixing that by following [these instructions](https://community.localwp.com/t/installation-failed-in-ubuntu-24-04-lts/42579/3) I am unable to create a site. The error goes on about missing `libssl.so.1.1`. Trying to fix this issue using the [instructions here](https://community.localwp.com/t/error-creating-new-sites-due-to-missing-shared-libraries-on-linux/15073/25) does not help, because that version is not available at all on my system. ![Screenshot from 2024-05-09 16-15-59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/7/3/73526c58e410cb588b45d941cddd190a65641d2f.png) The available libss.so files are these: ```auto [15:44:37][patrick@troll]~(+1|%0|ok) ❯ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl libssl3.so libssl.so.3 [15:44:37][patrick@troll]~(+1|%0|ok) ``` System: - Ubuntu 24.04 clean new installation with all update and build tools - Local 9.0.2 ---

From the screenshot, it looks like this site was using PHP 7.3.5. I tried creating a new site on my Ubuntu 24.04 box and ran into the same error as you, but PHP 7.4 and up seem to work. Can you try a newer version of PHP? PHP 7.3 has been EOL for a couple of years now: - [PHP: Supported Versions](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) And we haven’t done anything to re-compile it with different libs. I suppose if you really need to use 7.3, you could try installing an older version of Ubuntu, install Local and use 7.3, but you’re probably better off trying a newer version of PHP. ---

> [@davidsneighbour](#): > > `libssl.so.1.1` You can download the [package manually](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/libssl1.1/download) from the Ubuntu packages and install too. Do it using Curl: ```auto curl -O http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.22_amd64.deb ``` and then use dpkg to install it: ```auto sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.22_amd64.deb ``` This was necessary for me, to create sites using PHP 7.3.5 on Ubuntu 24.04. Hope this works for you. ---
