Issue
-----

My website isn't functioning as expected in the Acquia Platform, but works fine locally. 

Resolution
----------

There are a number of tools to work on a site using your local computer as the host before pushing it to our platform, including [DDEV](https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), [Lando](https://docs.acquia.com/lando/), and many others. Sometimes a feature will not work on our platform for reasons that aren't always obvious.

*   Check out [Why Is Something Working on Non-Production But Not Production?](/node/92411). Many of those items could be applicable to the local environment as well.
*   [Determine Whether .gitignore is Ignoring a File](/node/93416), and is not being pushed to your repository, and therefore not to the Acquia platform.

If you determine that none of those are the reasons, [file a Support ticket](/service-offerings/contacting-acquia-support "Contacting Acquia Support") with us and give us as much detail about your local setup as possible, and we will help to understand what is going on.
