windows azure development storage blob service not starting


When I start development storage emulator, I get an error

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

I guess this is happening only for BLOB, other services i.e. Queue and Tables start successfully

What could be the problem? I am using Azure SDK v1.4

Development Storage Emulator start error


Solution

  • Stop BitTorrent. In my experience, this error is usually a port conflict, and BitTorrent does typically grab port 10000. If it's not BitTorrent, look for other apps that might be holding on to port 10000. Netstat can probably help.
