Hi there @aslotta -

Thank you for the video that was really helpful.

I noticed you received an error about the hosts file - often times that is due to a permissions issue.

Have you had a chance to review this thread?

Let me know!

Hello there, I am having exactly the same error message as per this thread here, so I cannot provision new sites or import existing ones.

Unfortunately, I could not find a way to open my own thread, so I am following up this one.
My setup is

  • Macbook Air with M2 chip, Ventura 13.4.1
  • Local WP v7.1.0.

I no longer have the issue about editing the hosts file, as I followed the instruction as per thread you attached. But the “Uh-oh! Unable to provision site” message is still there, with the same details as per the original picture posted.

Thank you.

Hi @nuwebstudio - Being on an M2 machine, I assume you’re running the Apple Silicon version of Local?

Some of the binaries that ship with Local still require Rosetta 2 to function; do you have Rosetta installed on your machine? If not, it should be as simple as launching a Terminal window and running softwareupdate --install-rosetta and you should be good to go.

Thank you for your reply. Because I installed the Apple silicon version of Local, did not imagine I needed Rosetta. I followed your instructions and now it works, thank you so much!
