For me, problem was - IIS selected in Launch. (Project Properties - > Debug Tab). After selecting IIS Express solved the issue for me.

Your problem is probably your "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" variable in Development enviroment. If you look your Startup.cs file, you will find this lines:

if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
   spa.UseAngularCliServer(npmScript: "start");
}

When you upload that code to a server with the developmen variable, the angular CLI cannot be launched a second time, so it crashes and gives that error message. You have 2 options, or you delete this:

 spa.UseAngularCliServer(npmScript: "start");

or you can substitute it for:

 #if DEBUG
    spa.UseAngularCliServer(npmScript: "start");
 #endif 

I recommend this second option, since if you use the first one, the application will stop working locally.
