Uh-oh! Unable to start site. Local Version: Version 7.1.0+6396

What issue or error are you experiencing?

Uh-oh! Unable to start site.
Error: Command failed: /Applications/Local.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/lightning-services/mysql-8.0.16+6/bin/darwin/bin/mysqladmin ping

mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed

error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/Users/martingibson/Library/Application Support/Local/run/A-YuHuy5V/mysql/mysqld.sock’ (2)’

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ‘/Users/martingibson/Library/Application Support/Local/run/A-YuHuy5V/mysql/mysqld.sock’ exists!

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

This happens when I start any of my sites.

Notes

I looked at this thread here: Got the Uh-oh Unable to Provision site (Mac) and this solution did not help.

Hi @nbwebsites

Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local?

More details about troubleshooting this here: Router Mode

Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example.

Hi @Nick-B, thanks for your reply. I have no firewall applications running. I am not running any other developer applications. Thanks,

Some have an @ symbol after, I am not sure what this means…

Another thread over here where a user with a similar issue said a full restart resolved it for them. Down at the bottom Ben also explains what the @ means.

I have done a restart and I know that doesn’t help the issue, but I haven’t done a full power off. I will try that perhaps later today and let you know if the issue persists. Thanks,
