After the issue I reloaded the program and right clicked then selected the open with browser tab and it worked fine.

Hello,

I had this error. I resolved by removing the "" liveServer.settings.useBrowserPreview ": true," configuration from the Live Server configuration file.

My cfg before:

{
"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome",
"liveServer.settings.donotVerifyTags": true,
"liveServer.settings.port": 0,
"liveServer.settings.multiRootWorkspaceName": "",
"liveServer.settings.useBrowserPreview": true,
"liveServer.settings.fullReload": true,
"liveServer.settings.useLocalIp": true
}

After:
{
"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome",
"liveServer.settings.donotVerifyTags": true,
"liveServer.settings.port": 0,
"liveServer.settings.multiRootWorkspaceName": "",
"liveServer.settings.fullReload": true,
"liveServer.settings.useLocalIp": true
}

I hope it helps someone.

I followed the step by step, but I was unsuccessful. Now it is appearing in the Status Bar "Port: 50254 (disabled or without service). Before following the step by step the same message appeared, however" Port: 5500 (disabled or without service).
I am currently using vccode-preview-server successfully.

[Almah2288]

I would open settings and configurations and where it lists port 50254/5500
I would put "null 0" save and reset the program. this will force start the
apache and by pass fail error log, have fun lol cheers!

Please reply if you need more assistance!
if this step does not work, you might uninstall software and re install.
