Sites wont launch since updating to Mac Big Sur

I just updated to Big Sur on my Mac and now several sites will not launch, only one out of a dozen. When I click to start the site it gives me a 502 Bad Gateway, and where the wordpress version is listed it never populates. Please help, I have several sites I am working on and in big trouble right now.

Did you find a solution? I just updated to BigSur, the latest version of Local, and there are no other specific errors, impossible to access the site through SSH.

Update: I found out that it only crashes when PHP 7.4.1 is selected; it works with 7.3.5.

It only works with new WordPress installs, not with the old one. Everytime, the error I can find in the logs is this.

I found when I changed my sites to 7.3.5 on my old sites it started working again.

Hey @squarepixel and @TigrouMeow – Yeah Big Sur has a couple of issues that we know about:

  1. Open site shell doesn’t work. The Local team is working on a fix, but the current workaround is outlined in this topic within the forums: Open Site Shell not working macOS Big Sur

  2. The PHP service is broken and needs an update. The Local team is working on a better way of updating the PHP service, but in the meantime, you should be able to fix PHP 7.4.1 by following the steps in this FAQ: How can I manually update downloadable Lightning Services?

Hope that helps get you squared away – let us know if you have any questions or run into anything else!
