I’ve noticed a couple other users on Big Sur are having this issue, and it seems like maybe Local isn’t cleaning up the Nginx processes:

Can you try killing those processes and then starting Local?

Using the output from above, you should be able to use those PIDs like so:

kill 13025 74091

If the computer has been restarted, those processes might be different. Can you give that a try and let me know how it goes?

I’ve been having the same problem recently, but on Catalina with Local v. 5.10.1+5267

Your recommendation re using kill is a great temporary solution, but I wanted to report that at least in my case, the problem still occurs sometimes.

Thanks!
