Server not configuring: This site can’t be reached

Support
1

Hello,

I’ve recently updated Local and am not able to get the server to run. All I get it “This site can’t be reached” in the browser. I’ve tried creating several sites with differing PHP versions and both nginx/Apache. No luck.

Any advice?

Thanks.

I have the same problem, do you have any solution?:pensive:

To anyone having this issue, can you please provide your local-by-flywheel.log file?

You can get to it by going to Help » Reveal Local’s Log on macOS. To find it on Windows click on the 3 dots in the upper-right corner of the window then go to Reveal Local’s Log.

Sorry for the trouble!

Hi Clay,

I am still new to the whole flywheel local. I just setup flywheel local on Windows 10 and when I clicked on view site I get “Site can’t be reached” I don’t know if there was something I did wrong or didn’t do but yeah, would love your help. Thank you in advance. I have also attached my log file as requested. Thank you again.

I’m having the same problem - server won’t load via nginx or Apache. It’s acting like there’s already something listening on port 80 and conflicting, but I haven’t found what it might be or how to disable. From the log:

Update - I have things working now. It was a port 80 conflict in my case, resolved by running:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist 2>/dev/null
