Reinstall Mysql 5.6

Support
1

I am trying to create a WordPress site on my local using custom environment.
( PHP 7.2 - nginx - Mysql 5.6 )
It gives me an error message “WordPress Installation Failed.”

But if I choose Mysql 5.5 then it works fine.
When I was doing it for first time, it prompts me to download Mysql 5.6 and due to connectivity issue, it failed in between. So i suspect it has something to do with that.
Is there a way to delete Mysql 5.6 or force re-download?

Hi Anand,

You can force Local to redownload an environment by doing the following:

  1. Browse to either:
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Local by Flywheel/environments
    • Windows: %AppData%\Local by Flywheel\environments
  2. Move the environment you wish to re-download to another directory or to the trash/recycling bin.
  3. Re-open Local and reinstall the environment when prompted.
