I've run into problems trying to run the Azure Storage Emulator on a newly installed computer.
At first it was returning
Cannot create database 'AzureStorageEmulatorDb56' : The database 'AzureStorageEmulatorDb56' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases..
However, when I ran sqllocaldb i I could see that there was a DB named 'AzureStorageEmulatorDb56'.
I eventually ran the command
AzureStorageEmulator init -server localhost -forcecreate
which returned
Granting database access to user AzureAD\[username elided].
Database access for user AzureAD\[username elided] was granted.Initialization successful. The storage emulator is now ready for use.
The storage emulator was successfully initialized and is ready to use.
which looks promising.
However, when I right-click the emulator's icon in the system try and select "Start Storage Emulator" nothing happens. And if I then look in the log files I can see an error log (Error20-Jul-18-11-07.log) which contains...
7/20/2018 11:06:36 AM [Error] [ActivityId=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000] Input string was not in a correct format.
There's also an Info20-Jul-18-11-07.log file which contains
7/20/2018 11:06:36 AM [Info] [ActivityId=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000] Starting Service: Blob

Can anyone explain what's going wrong and how I can get the local storage emulator up and running?
Try to disable logging, there seems to be a bug in the 5.5 release: https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-net/issues/728
