Apache is on our list of things to add in Q2. It has been a lower priority since WordPress, and most plugins/themes work great with Nginx, but we’ve always had a plan to bring this back into Lightning.
Be sure to vote up Canny if you haven’t already.
This is only if Local is using the localhost routing mode. The Site Domains mode (which is the default) still writes to /etc/hosts, supports domains/hostnames, and HTTPS.
If Local is serving sites at URLs like http://localhost:10001, Local likely detected a conflicting web server on either port 80 or 443. You can always switch the router mode back to Site Domains by going to Preferences » Advanced.
Just note, you’ll need to disable other processes running on ports 80/443, or it will prompt you to go back to the localhost routing mode.
We haven’t seen this on our end, but I’ll take a look into this. Do you see this when Importing and Exporting or in other situations?
Our data tells an entirely different story for both of these sentiments. Usage is up, and the percentage of users who can successfully create a site is also drastically up.
I provided a lot of information behind our decision here: A Plea for Local by Flywheel 3 - #7 by clay - Feature requests - Local Community
Hi @Shane,
Do you see these issues with 5.2.7? We’ve made a lot of improvements recently with Connect to Flywheel and WP Engine in 5.2.6 and 5.2.7.
Have you reached out to our support team regarding the issues with Pulling? We’re more than happy to help out.
With all of this said, I sincerely appreciate the passion you both have for Local. We’re humbled to be part of your workflow and hope to continue to be!
