### What issue or error are you experiencing? * * * ### What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc * * * ### System Details - **Local Version:** - **Operating System (OS) and OS version:** * * * ### Local Logs Attach your Local Logs here ([Help Doc - Retrieving Local’s Log](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/retrieving-locals-log-file/)) * * * _ **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 @RINDRA There are a few things you can check here to see if they resolve this: - Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local? If so, can you try temporarily disabling them or see if they have a setting that will “allow” Local to proceed? - Can you check if your Hosts File is read only? [Help! I'm running into an EPERM error with the hosts file on Windows](https://community.localwp.com/t/help-im-running-into-an-eperm-error-with-the-hosts-file-on-windows/3508) - Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example. ---

Hi @RINDRA Based on the screenshots you’ll want to make sure your Hosts File isn’t set to Read Only and that Local isn’t blocked by antivirus. This should help: > [@Help! I'm running into an EPERM error with the hosts file on Windows](https://community.localwp.com/t/help-im-running-into-an-eperm-error-with-the-hosts-file-on-windows/3508): > > This is usually caused by the hosts file being set to read-only or locked by anti-virus. 1. Remove Read-only Attribute Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc Right-click on the hosts file and go to “Properties” Uncheck “Read-only” Click “Apply” Re-open Local Screenshot 2.

Hi @RINDRA Have you been able to check your hosts file settings and antivirus? You keep sending screenshots but I’m not sure what you’ve checked or done. Are you also using Windows as an admin user? ---
