[Python] Getting error "connect econnrefused 127.0.0.1:9091" while running Azure Function

I want to develop an HttpTrigger function in VS Code but for each attempt to run & debug, I get this error message :

connect econnrefused 127.0.0.1:9091
​

I tried a lot of solutions detailled for others questions, but none of them worked. Here are my config infos :

• VS Code : 1.79.0
• Python : 3.10.11
• Azure Functions Core Tools : 4.0.5198
• Windows 10 Pro

Here are my files info :

It is as it was generated, I do not change anything and it still doesn't work.

import logging
import azure.functions as func

def main(req: func.HttpRequest) -> func.HttpResponse:
logging.info('Python HTTP trigger function processed a request.')

name = req.params.get('name')
if not name:
try:
req_body = req.get_json()
except ValueError:
pass
else:
name = req_body.get('name')

if name:
return func.HttpResponse(f"Hello, {name}. This HTTP triggered function executed successfully.")
else:
return func.HttpResponse(
"This HTTP triggered function executed successfully. Pass a name in the query string or in the request body for a personalized response.",
status_code=200
)


When I use run & debug, I get this :

When I use a command line to start my function, I get this :

• Change the port to 7071 or 9092
• The 3 possibilities described here
• I set the setting "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" on powershell.exe
• Uninstall VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools and Python, but it was useless
