VMware Node.js Azure Web Role not starting

Question

In VMWare Fusion, with the additions of Azure SDK 1.8 and node, hi-world instructions do not work for me. Has anyone found a fix?

• Open Non-Powershell Administrator
• New-AzureServiceProject
• Add-AzureNodeWebRole
• Azure-StartEmulator -Launch

A web browser (Chrome) opens and the answer is always empty. I saw this both in networks with bridges, and in shared mode, as well as from the main machine. Logs (I think they are logs) in the computational emulator, and in apphome / log.txt do not show anything. By executing node server.js directly, meanwhile, a node server.js server is created.

I mention VMWare Fusion specifically because these steps work for me in an office where I do not start the virtual machine.

I'm a little green on all Windows that I started using only for Azure tools. This can help me find out where to look.

Answer 1

I got the impression that the azure storage emulator uses some ports that VMWave uses, but I'm not entirely sure if this is your case.
