The listener for function was unable to start

I am unable to start my timerTrigger function with `func start` which throws this error:

The listener for function 'Functions.myfunc' was unable to start. Azure.Core: Retry failed after 6 tries. Retry settings can be adjusted in ClientOptions.Retry. (Connection refused (127.0.0.1:10000)) (Connection refused (127.0.0.1:10000)) (Connection refused (127.0.0.1:10000)) (Connection refused (127.0.0.1:10000)) (Connection refused (127.0.0.1:10000)) (Connection refused (127.0.0.1:10000)). Azure.Core: Connection refused (127.0.0.1:10000). System.Net.Http: Connection refused (127.0.0.1:10000). System.Net.Sockets: Connection refused.

local.settings.json:
```
{
"IsEncrypted": false,
"Values": {
"FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "custom",
"AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true"
}
}
```

It seems it can't connect to the azurite emulator blob storage container. How can I fix this?

Use local.settings.json and the `func start` entry point to reproduce the timerTrigger failure, then inspect how the tool handles the configured `UseDevelopmentStorage=true` endpoint at 127.0.0.1:10000. Done means the cause and a reliable fix or diagnostic for starting the function are established.
