One site is stuck on "Starting..."

What issue or error are you experiencing?

There is one site that has been working fine until today and now it’s not starting - it’s stuck at “Starting…” and the progress indicator next to its name keeps spinning.


What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

I don’t know how someone else would replicate this.

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 @tjhickey

If you stop the site, and change your Router Mode to Localhost does that work? Preferences>Advanced>RouterMode

Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local?

More details about troubleshooting this here: Router Mode

Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example.
