Unable to load Local sites

Support

What issue or error are you experiencing?

In an attempt to add WooCommerce support, I installed composer globally and also upgraded Local after having put it off for some time. However, after doing this following the Digital Ocean tutorial I am no longer able to visit any of my local sites.

Whenever I go to {site_name}.local the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page is displayed. I have no idea what to do to rectify this.

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

Welcome to the community @kaleshe !

That page is the default page for Apache, which makes sense after following the Digital Ocean tutorial.

Because both Local and that manually-installed version of Apache are trying to use the default HTTP port for your computer, things aren’t going to work.

You have a couple of options:

  1. Stop Apache whenever you want to use Local, and stop Local whenever you want to use the plain Apache server
  2. Keep Apache as it is, and set Local to “localhost” Router Mode under “Preferences > Advanced”

Some more details about that second option and Local’s Router Mode feature can be found in this help doc: What is Router Mode? - Local

But zooming out a bit, you mention wanting to add Composer support. You can definitely add composer like what is outlined in the DigitalOcean doc, but Local also comes bundled with Composer.

Because Local doesn’t want to break other versions of system software, our version of composer is only available when you click the “Open shell” button for a site.

Thanks for the response. I was able to fix it by following your instructions and changing the Router Mode to localhost!
