### What issue or error are you experiencing?

Every time I create a new wordpress site, the next time I try to access it, I get the following error and it doesn’t boot up.

I also have the missing mailpit issue:

### Local Logs

Attach your Local Logs here ([Help Doc - Retrieving Local’s Log](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/retrieving-locals-log-file/))

_ **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.

Edit:  
I believe this might be my issue. Will check tomorrow: [Fix: Mailpit not starting in Local — seed with 9.2.5, then upgrade](https://community.localwp.com/t/fix-mailpit-not-starting-in-local-seed-with-9-2-5-then-upgrade/51272?utm_source=chatgpt.com#p-117232-fix-concise-2)

Please could you try updating to Local 9.2.8 via Local → Check for updates?

It should solve this issue for you.
