Hi @clay,
I also am trying to get Statamic version 2.6.9 running on my Local By Flywheel (2.0.8) install. As kblocalflywheel mentioned, it’s mostly working correctly, but cache generated images in the front-end and backend are not displaying. Opening them up tells me that Reading Exif data is not supported. I tried running through several of your explanations, listed below, to no avail. The general site settings default to using GD for the image manipulation driver, but switching it to ImageMagick also does not work, telling me ImageMagick is not supported either. I have attempted to compile both Exif and ImageMagick, but keep hitting roadblocks.
*How can I enable the PHP BC Math extension for a site?
*How do I compile additional PHP extensions?
*Add IMAP PHP Extension
*How to install ImageMagick?
Is there anything else I can do to get this running? Also, trying to visit local-phpinfo.php for the PHP information does not work anymore on this site, telling me that it’s forbidden, despite having the exact same permissions as other WP sites I have running in Local.
