Hi

Out of nowhere today (haven’t made any changes at all), I can’t open my local site anymore. It will say the site is running in DevKinsta, and the docker containers are running as well, but the browser won’t load the page.

I tried also accessing directly through docker, but that doesn’t work either. It’s like the container is either somehow damaged or the path is not syncing…

I of course already tried stopping the service, restarting my system etc., but nothing works.

Would appreciate inputs

Might not be the same “fix”, but I had a similar issue last week when pulling my sites. My issue was related to using WordFence, and there being a line in the user.ini file requiring it at the production site URL. Deleting that file/line fixed the issue for me.

Could be worth renaming the user.ini file to user.ini.bak as a quick test to see if that allows the site to run properly.

Thanks. Unfortunately doesn’t work ☹

I had to simply duplicate the theme content to a new site, now it works…

Hi @emilb, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your local site not opening.

Usually, the local site should load without a custom port. Based on your screenshot it has the custom port on the URL. Can you please check that the “ **Auto Detect** ” port selector option in DevKinsta is unchecked and the default ports 80 and 443 are set respectively. See screenshot below:

I hope this will help you out and let me know if you still encounter similar issue in the future.  
Though I am glad your local site works after duplicating the theme content.

Have a great day!
