Problem by creating a new site

What issue or error are you experiencing?

I just installed Local, I want to create my first site, and I’m encountering this issue that seems to be related to MySQL, but I can’t understand what the problem might be. I already ran Local in administrator mode and changed the port for MySQL, which is running, but the same issue keeps occurring. If I press ‘Accept,’ it deletes everything and leaves me as if I hadn’t created anything.


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


System Details

  • Local Version: Version 9.2.2+6771

  • Operating System (OS) and OS version: Windows 10 Pro - 19045.5608

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 @Urso

It looks like you’re running into the special characters bug mentioned at the bottoms of our Windows guide here: Troubleshoot: Windows + Local - Local

The workaround will be to create a user without any special characters or spaces and ensure you do the same when creating your WordPress users admin settings as well.

I am getting the same error, no special characters and I have been through all the Windows Troubleshooting steps. Please advise thanks.

@jefferykarbowski Is your Windows setup using 32 or 64 bit?

Did you make sure you’re running Local as an admin user, that you don’t have any security blockers, and that Local has access to update your Hosts file?
