Issue Summary

I imported a live site (running on Apache server) in Local prefered environment (so nginx). Works perfectly as nginx web server, but when I try to change it for Apache (in order to put it live again), I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

Troubleshooting Questions

  • Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?

Just with this one.

  • Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?

Yes, it’s working but only if I don’t change web server after creation.

Replication

I created a Wordpress site with OVH. Then import it to Local, works fine. I chose the prefered environment, and now I try to move it from nginx server to Apache, but when I launch the website I got an error 500.
If I go back to nginx, everything works again.
I flushed DNS, nothing changes.

System Details

  • Which version of Local is being used?
    6.6.1+6281

  • What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used?
    Windows 11 personal

Note : I also have a wampserver install on my computer, but turned off.

Hi @centaurelo

So if you create a new blank site using Apache, that works fine? Are you able to do that and re-import the site there?

Can you provide us a copy of your Local Log? Retrieving Local’s Log File

Yes, it works fine, but now I made many changes to my Local site and wish I don’t lose all this work :frowning:
Do you think I can do the following :

  • Export my Local site then import it back toLocal with an Apache server ? Or it will be troubleshooting ?

I must go, so I’ll provide my Local Log when I come back home.

Thanks for your help :smiley:

Hi @centaurelo

Try out these steps:

  • Start your site
  • Right-click the site name on the left-hand side of your App, and select Export
  • Grab that exported zip file when it’s ready, and drag it back over to Local
  • Local should prompt you to create a new site, you’ll have to edit the name to something different
  • The next screen you should be able to choose Custom and change your server to Apache
  • Complete import and test site launch

I did that carefully, but the result is the same :cry:

Hi @centaurelo

Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local? Are you running any other developer applications simultaneously?
