### What issue or error are you experiencing? None of my Local sites will open. Running into error message - same message all Local sites. * * * ### What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc * * * ### System Details - **Local Version:** p.05 - **Operating System (OS) and OS version:** mac OS 10.15.7 * * * ### Local Logs Attach your Local Logs here ([Help Doc - Retrieving Local’s Log](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/retrieving-locals-log-file/)) [local-logs.zip](https://community.localwp.com/uploads/short-url/456JFA0xDGbSlEOEVrxjUQhwPz1.zip) (77.8 KB) * * * _ **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 @KrisNelson Have you tried quitting Local and doing a full reboot yet? Also, if you change your Router Mode are you able to proceed? Preferences\>Advanced\>Router Mode ---

Yes, I tried quitting Local and doing a full reboot. I uninstalled Local and reinstalled it. And the error. Error: Command failed: /Users/krisnelson/Library/Application Support/Local/lightning-services/mysql-8.0.16+6/bin/darwin/bin/mysqladmin ping mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/Users/krisnelson/Library/Application Support/Local/run/xBEf7eXNq/mysql/mysqld.sock’ (61)’ Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ‘/Users/krisnelson/Library/Application Support/Local/run/xBEf7eXNq/mysql/mysqld.sock’ exists! at ChildProcess.exithandler (node:child\_process:422:12) at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:517:28) at maybeClose (node:internal/child\_process:1098:16) at ChildProcess.\_handle.onexit (node:internal/child\_process:303:5) Local worked perfectly when I shut down the computer. I have not updated the OS as this computer is stuck at 10.15.7. Just went and bought a new Mac running the M2 chip. Will try on that computer now. Kris ---

Hi @KrisNelson Another thing you could try is going to an older version of Local. We’ve been seeing some issues recently with 10.15 and will likely be bumping Local’s minimum version soon. More information on how to downgrade here: > **[Downgrade Local Version](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/downgrade-local-version/)** > > Downgrading Local may be used to troubleshoot issues presented with a newer version or other various reasons. We recommend running Local on the latest version available when possible. For your Mac M2, you’ll want to make sure you have Rosetta installed if you’re using the Apple Silicon version of Local. > **[Install Local](https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/installing-local/#minimum-requirements)** > > Installing Local should be easy, but if you’re having trouble, this is guide should help!
