Answer 4

Here's what worked for me - I got the same error:

Internal HTTP server disabled: Cannot start internal HTTP server. Git integration, JavaScript debugger and LiveEdit may operate with errors. Please check your firewall settings and restart Android Studio

Run command prompt as administrator - type cmd in the 'search programs and files' text box in the Windows Start menu; right-click and select 'Run as administrator'.

At the command prompt, type

netsh winsock reset

Restart your PC

This worked for me.

Just to mention: I also added Android Studio and Gradle folders to my virus protection exceptions in case it was being blocked, but that didn't resolve the problem; the problem was only resolved once I followed the steps above.
