Stuck on Changing Site Domain

What issue or error are you experiencing?

When cloning a site I get stuck on Changing Site Domain. I have also tried to export and import a site zip, and then I get an error relating to my.cnf :sob:


What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

Clone a site, any site.

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @dikdronk

On the site you are trying to clone/re-import what is the PHP version? If it’s not already can you try changing it to PHP 8.2, refreshing and then see if that works?

That worked! Thank you so much!!

Glad to hear it @dikdronk! Thank you for following up. I believe there was a bug we uncovered not too long ago involving some of the older PHP versions but the newer ones work fine.
