That terminal looks like it should! The reason that it doesn’t show anything when typing your password is that the terminal is hiding the characters so that someone can’t look over your shoulder and see the password.
Since there wasn’t anything written to the terminal, I think it succeeded. You can take a look at the status of that file by opening the terminal and running this:
sudo ls -alh /etc/hosts
You might try creating a site in Local now to see if that allows you to create a site.
Sorry I didn’t see the second response.
Can you try creating a site again? You might get a different error or it might work.
I did created a site, and that is the screenshot I sent you, I got the Warning…
What warning?
I just got a new message when I reenter the password
Can you try creating a new site?
Wow, it works… but why did you guys did?
And why the my first site doesn’t work? Bitcoinaire but Bitcoinaire 2 just connected?
Good job! I’m glad we got to the bottom of it! 
afragen mentioned doing the touch command because the messages that were being seen in the terminal indicated that this file didn’t exist.
The original Local site still doesn’t work because it was never fully created. Now that the Hosts file exists, the second site was able to be created without any problems.
You can delete that first site since it will never work. You can also delete this new site and start from a completely blank slate. The reason you might want to do this is if you don’t want that 2 at the end of the site name.
Should I create my new site first, then delete the two one or everything is gonna be alright?
I just deleted both of them, then created a new one. Now I got this: /Users/francombat/Local Sites/bitcoinaire/bitcoinaire.
Is it normal I have /bitcoinaire/bitcoinaire ?
That’s not typical and hints that something may still be wrong from a permissions standpoint of the computer.
That being said, if the site is working, it’s probably OK. I would just be sure to take backups occasionally by right-clicking on the site and selecting “Export” as well as stop the site any time you aren’t actively working on it.
