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 @rashedk

Is this happening with a new Local site that you just created? Or is this a site that you imported into Local or already have been working on?

The XML-RPC dll was [removed from the default PHP distribution in PHP 8](https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration80.incompatible.php#migration80.incompatible.xmlrpc)+, so Local’s PHP no longer includes it beyond version 8.

I was able to replicate your error in Windows 11 but only when I manually added `extension=php_xmlrpc.dll` to my `php.ini` file. So if a site you tried to work on or import has an altered `php.ini` like this, then you may need to remove that if you’re simply wanting to get rid of the error and don’t need that in place.
