# Problems with Sage installation on macos **URL:** https://discourse.roots.io/t/problems-with-sage-installation-on-macos/25864 **Category:** sage **Created:** 2023-08-24T23:35:03Z **Posts:** 11 ## Post 1 by @neoswf — 2023-08-24T23:35:03Z I’m running WP on my local MacOS using MAMP. Have installed Bedrock and ran the WP installation, and all is running as expected - my website opening on `localhost:3000`. The problem starts when I try to access the site after installed Sage. I am receiving `Error occurred while trying to proxy: localhost:3000/` and I have no idea why I am getting this. The moment I stop Sage, MAMP delivers the site. If I try to run Sage again, the error returns. Just to make it clear, so I’ll won’t be doing some crazy mistake - 1. I have installed Bedrock. 2. Have installed Sage as a theme. 3. Mamp is pointing to Bedrock’s folder, and website’s port is configured inside Sage’s `bug.config.js` Any idea what can I be missing? Reading [this thread](https://discourse.roots.io/t/error-occurred-while-trying-to-proxy-localhost-3000/25248/5#:~:text=Can%20you%20curl%20http%3A//wordpress.test%20successfully%20from%20wherever%20you%E2%80%99re%20running%20bud%20dev%20from%3F), I am able to curl localhost:3000 (recieved perfect html output), but unable to curl the proxied URL `example.test`: ``` curl: (7) Failed to connect to example.test port 80 after 3 ms: Couldn't connect to server ``` ENV: npm: 9.8.1, node: v16.20.2/v18.17.1 (tried both versions). * * * **Steps I did to figure out whats going wrong:** - Have gave Full Disk Access to `/sbin/nfsd` ([reference](https://discourse.roots.io/t/need-help-on-fresh-install-of-trellis-bedrock-and-sage-locally-on-mac-catalina/17365)). - Have disabled MacOS firewall - Have tested to see if problem persists as well on theme’s `dev-main` branch - Tried switching between Nginx & Apache, on MAMP BTW- I was looking at the `package.json` file, and I have seen that Sage appears, inside the devDependencies, as version `6.12.12`. Its the latest version from the `git` repo. Is this means that I am using sage’s version 6? Doesn’t exist version 10? --- ## Post 2 by @neoswf — 2023-08-25T12:54:18Z Discovered the problem: `bug.config,js` arrives with the follwing configuration: ``` .setUrl('http://localhost:3000') .setProxyUrl('http://example.test') .watch(['resources/views', 'app']); ``` It is missing the port number on the proxied url ``` ... .setProxyUrl('http://example.test:3000/') ... ``` I’ll open a PR --- ## Post 3 by @Log1x — 2023-08-25T14:42:01Z This is generally more of an environment-specific thing. While using [Herd](https://herd.laravel.com/) or [Valet](https://github.com/laravel/valet) I have never had to specify a port in `.setProxyUrl()`. :confused: I’d definitely check out [Herd](https://herd.laravel.com/) and [DBngin](https://dbngin.com/) if you’re on macOS and open to trying new things. They’re pretty nice compared to “environments” like MAMP in my experience. --- ## Post 4 by @neoswf — 2023-08-25T20:14:28Z I understand. 1. Inside bud.js repo, it is written with port number: [https://github.com/neoswf/sage/blob/0d1f0e024d10b7c02fb8cefbe6bc2cb6e921ffc7/bud.config.js#L37C8-L37C8](https://github.com/neoswf/sage/blob/0d1f0e024d10b7c02fb8cefbe6bc2cb6e921ffc7/bud.config.js#L37C8-L37C8) 2. Thank you for the tips regarding the Dev Environments. Does HERD is made for running WP? I see its dedicated for Laravel. 2.1 Found it - [https://tailcode.studio/using-laravel-herd-to-set-up-local-wordpress-dev-environment/](https://tailcode.studio/using-laravel-herd-to-set-up-local-wordpress-dev-environment/) 3. I thought on configuring WP alone, without using MAMP. Does HERD & Dbing really gives big advantages? Besides managing version of php & db? --- ## Post 5 by @Log1x — 2023-08-26T04:08:51Z > [@neoswf](#): > > Thank you for the tips regarding the Dev Environments. Does HERD is made for running WP?

Does HERD & Dbing really gives big advantages? Besides managing version of php & db? Yes. It’s blazing fast, requires zero configuration, making a new site is as easy as just making a new folder in `~/Herd` (or whatever directories you add) and immediately `foldername.test` is available, you can isolate PHP versions, everything is bleeding edge and fully up to date, everything is configured very nicely out of the box, [sharing](https://herd.laravel.com/docs/1/advanced-usage/sharing-sites) and [securing](https://herd.laravel.com/docs/1/advanced-usage/securing-sites) is as easy as can be, etc. I definitely don’t see any disadvantages. --- ## Post 6 by @neoswf — 2023-09-22T01:19:37Z Hey @Log1x . Long time not seen. Can you help me with a doubt I am having? So again I am here, but now, running my project under HERD (without DBngin, since mysql is running on my mac with docker, and I already have DBeaver on my computer). And I must say that running wp projects, is exactly like you said: as simple as creating a folder! I have tried Trellis, and running VirtualBox on my computer. It made me think if trellis worth the trouble, cause: 1. Finding an linux image for VM on Mac M1, is really hard. The one I have found perform slow and heavy. I ran VirtualBox and it got freezed and crushing, so ill give a try to VMware-fusion tomorrow, and hope it will out perform VB. 2. Running my WP instalation inside HERD is so smooth, so I wonder why to search for alternatives. I get that Trellis provides lots of configurations, but still, the smoothness of working with herd, makes me think twice about giving up on it. --- ## Post 7 by @Log1x — 2023-09-22T01:35:35Z I have only used Trellis for deployment. Using it’s dev environment is optional. I think it’s perfectly sane to stick with something native like Herd for WordPress development. For deployment, you can use Trellis with pretty much any host/environment. The most common guide is the one for [deploying to Kinsta](https://kinsta.com/blog/bedrock-trellis/) but it really just comes down to swapping out the project roots, etc. Another option is to use something like Envoyer for deployment. I recently wrote [GitHub - Log1x/envoyer-deploy-commands: Simple deployment with Envoyer using Artisan](https://github.com/log1x/envoyer-deploy-commands) which has been pretty nice to use so far (works with Acorn). --- ## Post 8 by @neoswf — 2023-09-22T12:11:51Z Thanks Brandon. Taking advantage of this thread, does exist some manual that explains how to turn Sage into FSE? I’m aware about [sage10-fse](https://github.com/strarsis/), but it shows several known-issues, which make me wonder how much Sage is FSE compatible. I walked through dozens of threads, speaking here about this subject, and 1. I couldn’t find an explicit answer on how to activate FSE 2. [The docs](https://roots.io/sage/docs/gutenberg/) speaks about Gutenberg, but it’s unclear, especially for a Sage newbie like me, what do do with the information over there. 3. The only option i found that worked out, is to copy code from [sage10-fse](https://github.com/strarsis/). Is there a manual/tutorial/video that explain this matter in details, and you can provide me? Thank you for all your help! --- ## Post 9 by @Log1x — 2023-09-22T12:22:42Z No idea. I have no interest in FSE at the moment. --- ## Post 10 by @neoswf — 2023-09-22T12:38:17Z So sites that you are creating, are classic themes, with ACF & gutenburg editor? --- ## Post 11 by @Log1x — 2023-09-22T12:50:34Z Yeah, otherwise I’ve mainly been working with [https://filamentphp.com/](https://filamentphp.com/). **Edit** : I unlisted this thread since it has gotten off-topic and I don’t want to keep bumping it. --- ## Post 12 by @Log1x — 2023-09-22T12:50:43Z
