Hi again @Jessy! Thank you for your patience here.

Your latest logs show that NGINX can’t start:

> [emerg] 2007#0: unknown directive “http2” in /Users/jessyb/Library/Application Support/Local/run/router/nginx/conf/server-block-ssl.conf:3

It looks like there might be a mismatch with the NGINX version, which you should be able to fix with the same steps outlined here:

> Thank you for that @dca! Could you run this in terminal? open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Local/lightning-services From there, remove any NGINX folders you see, then restart Local. After that, run which nginx from a terminal to see if you have a system version of NGINX that might be overriding Local’s version.

For the separate mailpit issue, there are some resolution steps below that should help, depending on whether the error you’re getting mentions 1.12 or 1.24:

- 1.12 fix: [Missing Mailpit on Mac running Apple Silicon - #7 by nickc](https://community.localwp.com/t/missing-mailpit-on-mac-running-apple-silicon/51520/7)

- 1.24 fix: [Missing Mailpit on Mac running Apple Silicon - #8 by nickc](https://community.localwp.com/t/missing-mailpit-on-mac-running-apple-silicon/51520/8)
