Unable to start site - MySQL Error

Support

Thanks for that info, @Faysal_Shipu!

Let’s first check if this is specific to MySQL 8.0.35 (the latest version of MySQL that Local supports).

You can do that by trying to create a site using the previous version, MySQL 8.0.16:

  1. Click the + button (bottom left) to add a new site.
  2. Choose “Create a new site” and click “Continue”.
  3. Give the site a name and click “Continue”.
  4. Change from “Preferred” to “Custom”.
  5. Choose 8.2.23 for the PHP version, nginx for the web server, and MySQL 8.0.16 for the database. Click “Continue”. MySQL 8.0.16 will download and Local will try to start your site.

If that works, let us know — it at least gives you a workaround for now.

If it doesn’t work, please could you share your logs again after the site fails to start?

Thanks for your patience and perseverance with this. I’m interested to see what’s causing sites to fail to start for you.
