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.
Hey Nick so I’ve already done that as well. Sometimes I have to run it as admin and it will “create the site” but then I get a second error unable to launch site.

Hey Nick,
Here is my local log. I am also attaching the 2nd Error I get. Sometimes after running Local as an admin, the site appears on Local.
Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local? With Windows you might need to check if any native security is blocking Local or if permissions are locked down somewhere.
Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example.
Hello Nick, I hope you’re having a great week so far.
I was able to get through the steps of the last post unchecked “read-only” and made sure no security tools were blocking local. I also have no other developer applications simultaneously running.
My local is still popping up unable to start the site.
Let me know what else I can provide. I have confidence that you can help me figure this out.
When the computer is restarted and turned on, close any applications that automatically run in the background (AntiVirus, Firewall, and other Developer applications included).
Check and see if the issue still persists. If so, please provide us with an updated log. Retrieving Local’s Log File
Keep us posted and we’d be happy to help further!
@ itserika18, with this kind of error, it can mean one thing and that’s because your server or database couldn’t start because of corrupt files or incomplete installation.
To fix this, download the latest version of Microsoft VC redistributable C++ from the Microsoft website, and install it. This should fix the problem. Thanks.
I would have provided a download link but I don’t know if that’s against the rules here. Just search for that on Google and download from the Microsoft website.
