Local Help Docs Troubleshooting
The instructions in this help doc relate to an older version of Local called “Local by Flywheel” and are no longer correct for more recent versions of Local (above v 5.0)
For more information about migrating from Local by Flywheel to the new version of Local, see this help doc:
To remove the Local’s Virtual Machine, open VirtualBox and right click on the local-by-flywheel
machine. Select “Remove” to delete the Virtual Machine.
This is a destructive step and will cause all of the data within the Local Sites’ Databases to be lost.
Go to /Applications
and move Local by Flywheel.app
to Trash
Uninstall VirtualBox if you no longer want it (see Virtual Box for information on deleting their software.)
Remove ~/Library/Application Support/Local by Flywheel
. You can get to ~/Library/Application Support
by opening Finder and pressing Cmd + Shift + G
Check your /etc/hosts
file and remove the Local by Flywheel block and sites if they exist in there. To edit your /etc/hosts
files open Terminal and type sudo nano /etc/hosts
