API Error: 500 while pubishing R-Quarto Webiste to Quarto Pub

[vinsR]

Hello- I am just trying to create a quarto website using R Studio and Quarto Pub.

I was able to download all the packages and rendered the application locally. I am now trying to deploy it in Quarto-pub and I used quarto publish quarto-pub and I was able to establish a session with QuartoPub

I hope someone might be able to help me with this below API 500 errors coming when trying to publish a qmd to quarto pubs. The quarto files are rendering successfully but the issue is happening during this step: Preparing to publish site

I am using a personal PC Windows 11 computer with administrative privileges.

Here is the error:
[>] Creating quarto-pub site

Rendering for publish:

[1/4] about.qmd

processing file: about.qmd

output file: about.knit.md

Note: I even tried to create a default website that is generated when we click (RStudio->New Project->Quarto Website). Same issue is happening even with that default code. Can someone help me fix this??
