Azure Website domain won't configure

I have tried to setup a custom domain for DNS for an Azure Website running on Shared infrastructure (the one above the Free tier).
I have added a CNAME record 24 hours ago called awverify.mydomain.com and awverify.www.mydomain.com (I did both). I can see it in various MX record lookup tools online, and have been able to see that for about 24 hours. However, when I try to
add the domain into the Custom domains dialog in Azure I see this error:
"The DNS record for 'mydomain.com' that points to 'mydomain.azurewebsites.net' could not be located. If you want to configure and A record, you must first create a CNAME record with your DNS provider for ..."
I keep getting this message, even though it has been a long time (24 hours) in domain terms. Does anyone know why this is? Do I have to wait 48 hours when the CNAME record has already propagated across the web?

So when I understand correctly, you already have a website running at www.yourdomain.com and want to move this existing web site to Azure Web Sites.
You already created the Azure Web Sites name <yourwebsitename>.azurewebsites.net.
And you created a CNAME in your domain from awverify.www to awverify.<yourwebsitename>.azurewebsites.net (Note: the destination does not contain the www part!).
In that case, can you review the post here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaushal/archive/2013/07/06/windows-azure-web-sites-how-to-configure-a-custom-domain.aspx. The most interesting part is the section titled "MIGRATION FROM ON-PREMISE PRODUCTION TO MAWS".

Best Practice while configuring Traffic Manager for Azure Website

Hi Team,
I want to understand What is the best practice while we configure traffic manager for Azure website.
To give you the base, Here let me explain my requirement. I have one website which 40% target audiences would be East US, while 40% would be UK and rest 20% would be from Asia-pacific.
Now, What I want is Failover + Performance based Traffic Manager Configuration.
My thinking:
1) we need to create 1 website with 2 instances in each region (east us, east asia, west us for an example). so, total 3 deployment of website. (give region based url for the website)
2) create traffic manager based on performance and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonperformance
3) create traffic manager based on failover and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonfailover
4) create traffic manager and ?? don't know the criteria but add both above traffic manager here and take your final url for end user.
I am not sure (1) this may be the right approach or not (2) if this is right, in the 4th step which criteria we should select while creating final traffic manager round-robin/ performance/ failover?
after all these if use try to access site from US.. traffic manager will divert that to US Data-Centre or it will wait for failover and till that it will be served from east-asia if in configuration, east-asia is my 1st instance?

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your quick reply. actually question is bit different. Let me explain you different way.
I was asking for recommendation from Azure Traffic Manager team. whether my understanding is correct or not.We want Performance with Failover.
So, One azure website we have: take an example todoapp. I deployed that in 3 different region. now, I want to have performance based routing as well as failover based routing. but obviously I can't give two URL to my end user. so, at the top of that I will
require one more traffic manager. So,
step 1: I will create one traffic manager with performance criteria named: TMForPerformance.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
step 2: I will create one more traffic manager with failover criteria named: TMForFailover.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
step 3: I will create one final traffic manager with performance criteria named: todoapp.trafficmanager.com where I will add these two traffic manager instead of 3 different region's website.
Question 1) Is it correct structure if we want to achieve Performance with Failover or Is there any better solution?
Question 2) in step 3, what criteria we should select? performance/ round robin/ failover

Can't use punycode domain on azure website. Getting 404 Not Found.

I attached punycode domain to azure website using powershell (Set-AzureWebsite).
Domain is shown is azure output of Get-AzureWebsite and in Azure portal.
But when I try to access website using domain, I'm getting 404 NotFound azure page.
When I go to azurewebsites.net domain, I see default website page (OK).

I found a partial answer - moving the index.html file did make the site accessible - but at a more convoluted URL - so I have edited my question and reposted for further clarification!

When trying to access one website, Firefox says " This domain is not configured for this service. Please add it to your account."

I am trying to access a fabric website I have used before and when I try to type in the domain name, a message appears saying "This domain is not configured for this service. Please add it to your account". How do I fix this?

That message sounds like an address might have changed on the server...
Are you trying to access the site directly using a bookmarks, or by typing into the address bar, or by following a link in a search engine? Sometimes links change making bookmarks and search engine entries obsolete, or Firefox's autofill feature suggests an address that no longer works, so if one approach doesn't work, you might try one of the others.

Can you change the FTP URL for Azure Websites and link to a Domain Name FTP?

I have created an Azure Website, and have regisetered the correct Domain Name details for the site. What i want to understand is can i do the same for the FTP address via Azure?
Rather than use the default ftp://waws-XXX-XXX.ftp.azurewebsites.windows.net/ i want to change to be FTP.<Domain Name>.comi do not see the option to do this via Azure?
would i have to create a CNAME on my domain registrar to deal with this instead?

are you able to ftp to domainname.ext?
if you can ftp to domainname.ext and instead you want to ftp to FTP.domainname.ext then yes you need dns map

PDF Generator failing on Azure Website but not development machine

I am using EVOPDF for testing html to pdf.
http://idealpi.azurewebsites.net/defaultpdf.aspx
On local development works fine in full trust. When run on Azure website Reserved mode with full trust in web.config I get error.
Could not get conversion result header. Data receive error. Could not receive
data. Error code: 109
A similar post on discounet.asp site
http://community.discountasp.net/showthread.php?t=14232
indicates this is a full trust issue, but I have full trust defined in web.config
<configuration><system.web> <trust level="Full" />
Is full trust not full trust? Is there another way to define Full Trust?
Greg
PS
The EO company responsed with the following
For scalability and stability reasons, EO.Pdf performs the actual conversion in a separate worker process instead of inside your Web application process. That is probably what’s failing in your environment since in a Web only environment it usually won’t
allow you to spawn your own worker process.
Any workarounds using WAWS?

I have solved problem, with large files (~150 pages).
My Evo to Pdf version is 5.17 under 64bits process (iis 7.5) .
Making this change in web.config works ok

TFS Azure website is down: Error persists after rollback

I had a website connected with TFS and Azure.
I added another project to that solution and accidentally messed with its nuget packages.
Now I rolled back to the changeset that was before, and the solution in both VS and TFS online looks like that changeset that used to be before.
Anyway, the website is still down, I get
this error:
[FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Owin,
Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its
dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the
assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)]
<OLDPROJECTNAME!>.Startup.ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app) +0
<OLDPROJECTNAME!>.Startup.Configuration(IAppBuilder app) +5
Which definitely belongs to the old added project which has now been removed
from solution/changeset.
Why does TFS insist on complaining about a problem that doesn't exists in the changeset at all!
Another evidence that this is a bug related to the system. I've created a brand new website on azure and deployed the same website again and works like a charm.
The problem is I don't want to delete and recreate the website because I don't have access to the domain host and its settings. Is there a way to clean an azure website's contents (but the domain settings) and redeploy it?
Shimmy

It definitely looks like a deployment issue.
In the jsFiddle I've attached, the error source is:
LevEl.Quiz.Startup.Configuration(IAppBuilder app) +5
Which is the Owin configuration method of project that isn't supposed to be implemented at all.
Basically I'm looking for a way to clean the website entirely before the deployment (while retaining basic settings such as DNS etc).
Just checking with Kudu (How the cow didn't know it exists!?)
And I do see many unexpected DLLs and other files from previous deployments.
I'm not sure what I should erase in preparation for a new deployment, I mean, what happens if a user formats his entire drive?

Hi. I just create a VM with Reporting services, create a dataset, and a report, but when i try to access that report from my azure website via reportviewer i receive the error "the request failed with http status 401: unauthorized". Somebody with
an idea about what is wrong?. I set reportserver URI, report Path, user and password to the reportviewer.
Thank you in advance.

There are no more endpoints available on Azure Website

I am just trying to setup a simple web app that pings a IP address and host it on Azure Websites. I have a standard website (not the free tier) and I have web sockets turn ON.
I am just sending a simple ping using the system.net.networkinformation.ping part of the .net api. It runs fine within VS.NET on my machine when deploying local. however when I publish to my azure website, and run it there I get
There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper
I've tried looking on the azure configuration, the only obvious thing I noticed was making sure websockets was turned on. (and it is)
Any ideas? im sure it is some simple configuration and im just missing something? or are there certain things they do not allow from a Azure Website?
Thanks a bunch for looking at my question!

Cookieless session causes redirect loop when deployed to Azure Website

I have a website that needs to use cookieless session. The website works fine locally and the session key gets passed into each request url as expected. However, when deployed to an Azure website, the website requests cause a redirect loop by reloading the
url over and over again with new session keys each time. I've tried setting regenerateExpiredSessionId to false but that does not have any effect. The Azure Website works okay with UseCookies, but I need to use cookieless session for other technical reasons.
What can be done to resolve this issue or get more insight into why it is happening?

Hi,
Disabling the affinity can be done in two ways:
In your application
In a site configuration
Which one did you tried.
Regards,
Azam khan
I'm unmarking this as an answer. In no way does this answer the original question. In my previous reply I stated that I used web.config setting to disable ARR Infinity cookie. This did not resolve my problem. Also, could you please take a minute to describe
why you think disabling this feature would solve the problem? The original link you posted does not mention cookieless session or give any description of why that would be related to my problem.
Thanks for trying to help, but unfortunately this has not solved the problem. If you have more details, please provide them.

Azure website is stopped; after free trial what happens next?

Hi,
My Azure website is stopped and I don't understand why. Restarting it doesn't work.
I have a free trial subscription, which seems to expire today. I would like to upgrade it but there is no information about the financial impact of upgrading. I found this link about the different service tiers:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dn741336.aspx
But there is no finance information. They give you links into all kinds of documentation but the basic question of what to do after free trial subscription ends is nowhere.
I was able to link to a Web page that details monthly charges (which unfortunately now I couldn't find) where a developer pays $29 monthly and standard subscription costs $300 monthly. I need a standard but I don't have that money to burn. So I'm thinking
of the developer plan but I don't know what services go with it. What happened to the pay-as-you-go? Where is the explanation for what services are included in that plan? Where
are the plans? Why can't I find it in the Azure portal?
Appreciate anyone with suggestions.

Applicationhost.config updates for HTTP Slow Post with Azure Websites

We are trying to update our Azure websites to not show as vulnerable to the HTTP Slow Post vulnerability. Some articles suggest fixing this by updating the applicationHost.config via IIS to update the connection timeout values. Obviously with Azure websites,
we don't have access to IIS. Came across some options with Kudu and XDT to modify the application host file, as outlined on these two sites:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-transform-extend/#transform
http://rtigger.com/blog/2014/03/31/number-til-modifying-you-azure-applicationhost-dot-config
Currently am using the following as our applicationHost.xdt (I have this both in our application root, as well as in a SiteExtensions folder as I wasn't clear which one was required).
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<system.applicationHost>
<sites>
<siteDefaults>
<limits connectionTimeout="00:00:30"
xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</siteDefaults>
<applicationDefaults applicationPool="DefaultAppPool" />
<virtualDirectoryDefaults allowSubDirConfig="true" />
</sites>
<webLimits connectionTimeout="00:00:30"
xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</system.applicationHost>
</configuration>
We also set the WEBSITE_PRIVATE_EXTENSIONS app-setting to 1 as instructed.
When testing our site using a 3rd party tool, it appears the setting is not getting applied. Hoping someone can point out where our error may be. Alternatively, is there any way to see what the current applicationHost.config is for our website? I'm curious
if our XDT is correctly being applied, so if we could see what the resulting file was that may also allow us to further troubleshoot.
Thanks in advance for any advise!

Please see
this page, which has detailed steps on finding your applicationhost.config and finding the logs from the transformation. And please make sure that your applicationhost.xdt is in your
d:\home\site folder (and not in your site\wwwroot).

Azure Storage Used by non-Azure Website

I inherited a MVC EF website that was later converted to Azure for everything. We are taking the Azure Website and Azure SQL Server off Azure however and hosting both on our own servers. However we still want to use Azure Blob storage.
Apparently on my development environment I have to install the Azure SDK for Visual Studio and configure settings using a command prompt. On my local environment I was getting (Azure Reader?) errors relating http://127.0.0.1:10002. When I uploaded
the production site to the new server I getting the same errors. What do I have to configure to get rid of that?
Thank you

Thank you so far!
I fixed that in the web.config file to point to our blob storage account
<add name="AzureReader2" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=blobnuqa;AccountKey=<our account key>endpoint="http://blobnuqa.blob.core.windows.net" prefix="~/azure/" />
and I don't seem the be getting an error.
I have another key in the web.config file however and the settings above generate errors when I point to table storage:
Original:
<add key="TableStorageConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />
New:
<add key="TableStorageConnectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=blobnuqa;AccountKey=<our Key>; endpoint="http://blobnuqa.tabel.core.windows.net" />

Certificate for Azure Websites in the VNET

Hi,
I created a point-to-site connectivity from Azure websites to existing VNET. My Questions are:
1. Eventhough I add more than one website the client count in the Dashboard of the VNET is not showing increment more than 1. What is the reason?
2. How do I change the certificate used by the Azure website that is getting generated while connecting to VNET through point-to-site? It seems it all the websites connecting the VNET using same auto generated certificate. How and Why?
Thanks in Advance,
With Best Regards,
Kasinath

Hi Kasinath,
Where did you create the websites? Are they in the same web hosting plan? Based on my experience, only websites are running on a web hosting plan that’s in the ‘Standard’ pricing tier can be connected to a virtual network. A website can only
be connected to one network at a time and you can only have up to 5 networks configured in your web hosting plan.
In addition, the system will then create a certificate to authenticate with your VNET if it is the first website in your subscription to establish a connection to that network. Why did you want to change the certificate?
The link below maybe helpful to you:
Integrate your Azure Website with an Azure Virtual Network
