Missing apache as an option by creating a new local site

[AnTus]

I installed local-9.2.0 on Windows 11 and already have a local WordPress site running with nginx. Now, I wanted to create a new local site using apache, but when I select “Custom,” I can still only choose nginx 1.26.1. While searching the forum, I found the path (%AppData%\Roaming\Local\lightning-services) where the resources are located. However, I don’t see a folder for apache there.
Is apache not installed by default? Can this be added later?

I continued searching and found the following error message in the local-lightning.log:

{“class”:“LightningServicesService”,“level”:“error”,“message”:“network timeout at: https://getflywheel.github.io/local-lightning-services/site-services-v2.json",“stack”:"FetchError: network timeout at: https://getflywheel.github.io/local-lightning-services/site-services-v2.json\n at Timeout.

The computer on which LocalWP is installed is behind a proxy.

Hi, @AnTus, and thank you for sharing your logs.

You mention a proxy — you might need to adjust your proxy rules to allow Local to reach the sites and services it needs access to.

Local requires an unblocked connection to https://getflywheel.github.io/ to download extra services not bundled with Local (including Apache), as well as access to the sites listed below for logins and binary downloads.

The first time you select “Apache” Local will download it, but it can’t do that if something is blocking its download URLs.
