Tried installing new site - same issue - so it’s for all sites including new ones.

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, did you solve this issue?

Hi, yes - solved thanks. In fact it was clearly an issue with my mysql set up. I tested the most recent version of Linux Mint in VirtualBox and it worked fine. So, I just updated Linux Mint and all’s good.
