I open Local By Flywheel, select my site from the ‘Local Sites’ menu, start the site, click on the ‘Database’ tab, click on ‘Open Adminer’.
System Details
Having same issue on elementaryOS (distro based off Ubuntu). Issue started this morning. Successfully ran Local until this morning. Now
System details
- Local v6.3.1+5826
- elementary OS 6.1 Jólnir (Built on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS)
Update after restarting my computer a couple of times and switching to and from Site Domain and localhost I was able to access my sites again. Perhaps a Linux update interfered with the port?
Interesting. I actually just skirted the issue by creating a new install of WordPress and migrating everything I was testing from the old site to the new one since the database works without issue on the new site. The urgency to find a solution is gone, but I still want to fix the old site.
I do see that every time I open Local, I get an alert telling me that their is a new version of Local. Although I downloaded it, I am not sure how to apply the update since I am on Ubuntu… Any ideas?
On elementaryOS I use a package manager called Eddy for LocalWP updates. You can use that or similar on Ubuntu`
hmm that sounds like a good idea. I think I used apt-get, thank you.
