Unable to start site after updating Local

What issue or error are you experiencing? Unable to start site after updating Local to version 9.2.9+6887


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


How do I sort this error - simple explanation for a non-techie please? Or is it possible to role back to an earlier version of Local?

Thank you

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.

Hi @pagallery!

One thing you can try is opening the Windows Task Manager and killing any MySQL entries that appear. After that, you can try restarting the site.

If you’re still having trouble, try creating a new, blank site in Local and see if you can access it okay. If you can, you may want to try reimporting the site to see if you can resolve the errors that way. The steps would look like this:

  • Locate the site files on your machine, and save a copy of them to your desktop. If you click Go to Site Folder under your site name it should take you right to where they are located.

  • Once you have those copied, completely delete the site from Local

  • Quit and restart Local

  • Reimport the site back into Local. You can refer here on how to Restore from only Local site files

Killing the MySQL occurrences worked - thank you.
