Pushing Local database changes Remote from https to http

Pushing Local database changes Remote from https to http.
I tried recreating my local environment from a site that had it’s URLs explicitly set to https and it seemed to work at first, but now is changing them back to http.

Can we get Local to keep https on the remote URLs?

Is your Router Mode set to Localhost @alvarix? Localhost only supports HTTP but you can utilize Site Domains for HTTPS as long as you don’t have any other applications conflicting with Local.

Preferences>Advanced>Router Mode

Hi Nick,
thanks for the response.
I tried setting to local domains, when I opened the local domain url I just see the httpd page:
It Works!

I see that there are entries in the Hosts file for the domain, but I forget all the steps to configure local URLs (that’s why Im using Local!).

Can you give me any pointers on how to set this up?
Tx!

Hi @alvarix

What do you need to configure in the Hosts file? You shouldn’t have to set anything in there manually. If you just want to do a Search and Replace to make sure all of the domains in your site are routing from HTTP to HTTPS you can use the Open Site Shell function and then CLI in the terminal window that pops up.

If you’re still having trouble can you provide these details for us as well?

  • What is your OS?

  • What version of Local are you on?

  • Please attach a copy of your Local Logs

Keep us posted and we’d be happy to help further!

Thanks.
I remember if Im seeing the httpd conf message it means that hosts or vhosts is not configed.

The open shell function doesnt do anything when I click it in Local, even after restarting App.
I also tried to get wpcli running locally but it says it cant Connect to the Database.

Your Router Log is filled with what looks like Port Conflicts. Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local? Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example.

I do sometimes run a Vite project but im not running it now.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to manage ports, seem hard to do.
Does this shed any light?

sudo lsof -i -n -P | grep TCP

Here are some steps to help us identify and address this:

  • Stop all sites that are running in Local

  • Force quit Local

  • (If using Mac) Run the command lsof -nP -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN

  • (If using Windows) Run the command netstat -ano

What you’ll be looking for here is to see when sites are stopped and Local is properly shut down if there are still programs running on ports 80 and 443. These may be conflicting with Local or the system may be reporting Local is still running.

Once you run that command you should see a list of listening ports. If you see a particular program making use of those ports, you can then kill that process by running sudo kill -9 XXX where XXX is the PID number of that process. (On Windows you will use taskkill /F /pid XXX where XXX is the PID number of that process)

After that, you should be able to retry. Keep us posted if you have any questions or continuing issues.

There are also some more details around this and other troubleshooting steps at this link if needed: Stopping Whatever Is Listening On Port 80.

Trying this again to see if it can solve my 404 problems from the other thread.

Tried the steps above.
Didnt find anythign on 80 or 443

Local still complaining that there is a port conflict.
If I start the site anyway and go to the url provided I still get the It Works!
Here’s lsof after starting the site:

Do you guys have any phone support?

Since Local is a popular and free product, we do not offer any priority support including virtual or phone support.

Would you be able to share a fresh set of logs here so we can see if anything else stands out?

local-lightning-verbose.log (42.0 KB)

Going back to this comment of yours above, it still seems like something on your machine is locking things down or acting as a blocker here.

Is this a work/company issued machine? Maybe there are certain apps or privileges that are getting in the way here.

No sir. Personal computer

Was this your first time using Local when you created your post? Curious if it worked normally in the past if you had used it before but noticed changes after an update.

Do you have another machine you can test with?

It was working flawlessly for a few months.
I dont have another machine unfortunately.

Glad to hear it was working flawlessly for awhile. Have you tried downgrading to a point where it was working to see if that resolves the issue?

Sorry, I got mixed up with the 404 thread.
The site domains never worked for me.
