EACCES error on startup about azurite HOT 7 CLOSED

I also checked my local execution policy, mine is set to RemoteSigned.

Hi Craig,

Have you performed any hardening or are you using any special security software?
It might just be your Windows Defender / Firewall settings.

We might need to use the sysinternals tools to check why the functions can’t just create a listener on the required ports without admin mode.
Are you familiar with it’s use?

Do you have problems with any other apps?

“Works for me” isn’t really helpful here, other than I have a standard windows 10 install on 2 different machines and always start from powershell / conemu without issues.

I assume that you are not trying to run the Azure Storage Emulator at the same time as Azurite.

No, I haven't done anything special with security settings or hardware. It's just a build of Windows 10. I've heard of Process Monitor before, but I've never used it. None of my other applications have had this problem before, including Node applications. No other emulators are running.

Ah ha, I just figured it out. My PowerShell had the Bypass execution policy. I just tried setting the execution policy to RemoteSigned. Now Azurite works as intended.

At the very least, I think it's worth adding a note to the documentation. PowerShell is now the default Windows command prompt, so informing users of the minimum execution policy Azurite needs to work properly would be beneficial.

For me, the problem was something in my system already using that port.
I checked the source code and figured out a command for changing the port numbers when starting:

azurite -p 11000 -q 11001 -t 11002

With hindsight, it is kind of obvious that I had the official emulator running which was using the ports.
What I was hoping I could do was use Azurite to simulate multiple local accounts to avoid clashing of container names across multiple projects.
Not sure if this is possible though...

from azurite.

you can simulate multiple accounts, you just need to start Azurite with different local paths.
