Hi, in a new installation, my first problem is with an alert " Heads-up! Local’s router is having trouble starting. View the router log file for more details.

My router log :slight_smile:

Having the same issue in local lightning 5.0.6 on OSX Catalina

Hey @baru and @isvictorious,

This error can happen if a different plugin is using either Port 80 (as in this case), or Port 443- both of which Local needs available in order to work properly. Big culprits here are typically other development applications.

Our technician Matt did a pretty good dive into this issue on this thread, albeit it troubleshooting for Windows. However, it’s the same on both- you’ll want to figure out what is using Port 80 on your machine and stop or pause that service. There’s a few ways to do this on Mac OS, and I’ve found the steps outlined in this stackoverflow thread to be the easiest (at least for me :grinning:) to narrow it down.

However, if you’ve not found anything using Port 80 and are still having issues- do let us know! A full copy of your local logs will be helpful in that instance.

I’ll take a look. Would be helpful if it gave a more specific warning.

Thanks for the quick response!
