Permissions error on Azure website

Our site hosted in North Europe (with subscription ID: <removed for security purposes> has just started throwing permissions errors when attempting to write to
one of the folders.
I have just attempted a redeployment, but this is failing giving the following error:
Error ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_TO_SITE_FOLDER: Web deployment task failed. (Unable to perform the operation ("Create Directory") for the specified directory ("myfolder"). This can occur if the server administrator has not authorized
this operation for the user credentials you are using.

Is this a known issue?

We are having same issue. Also with Kudu we have no access or FTP, we can read but not edit or delete.

Getting consistent 500 URL Rewrite Module Errors on Azure websites

We can't seem to narrow down why these are occurring. There is no rhyme or reason, up and down for the whole site. Or sometimes most of the pages load but then some can't load any JS resources. We have already tried the following:
- Restarted site
- scaled site up down
- pointed DNS CNAME direct to site eliminating the traffic manager. No change there issue still occurs.
Anyone have any ideas on how to track this down?
Daniel Tharp

Hi,
There is no issue from our side, I just checked and all the website services are up and running without any issues.
I would request you to check now and see if you are getting the same error.
If you are facing the same issue, then I would request you to check this link:

502 Error Calling Azure SQL Database In Another Region From Azure Website

I run this code which works fine on the desktop or in an Azure VM but fails with a 502 error in Azure Website. Interestingly, the failure is instant and catastrophic with all exception handling bypassed. Took a long time to track the code down:
The failure is in the constructor for SqlConnection which has a valid connection string (tested on the desktop, Azure VM and SSMS). The originating Azure Website is in South East Asia and the database is in South Central US.
Does anyone have any ideas why or what can be done about it?
Code:
return; // returning here OK
SqlConnection connUS = new SqlConnection(connectionStringRegionUS); // this connection string works on desktop & SSMS
return; // returning here throws 502 error

Many thanks to Colin Mierowsky who put me onto the right track. I created a static X509Certificate elsewhere in the same class. The standard declaration caused this **VERY** misleading 502 error. Adding the storage flags X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet
| X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable to the X509Certificate constructor made the problem go away. The correct code for the constructor in Azure Website is:
X509Certificate2 cert = new X509Certificate2(key
, password
, X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet | X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);

Certain Http Server Errors not visible in logs for Azure Websites

I noticed that a lot of times (but not every time) Http Server Errors on my Azure Website (an ASP.NET MVC app) don't show up in any logs, although they are recognized by Azure. E.g. I get alerts that Http Server Error count > 5 in the last 15 minutes,
I see the error count on the Portal under Monitoring/Requests and errors however these errors are not visible in my application's own logs or in the eventlog.xml. Thus I also can't troubleshoot them.
Now I'm not totally sure (and can't find any hints about) what exactly "Http Server Errors" mean in Azure terminology but since 4xx errors are handled separately by alerts I'd guess these are 5xx errors. If indeed then I don't understand why there
are apparently errors happening that are not visible at least in the event log?

Hi Zoltán Lehóczky,
For your issue ,I suggest that you could try to enable site diagnostics and application diagnostics in Azure Management Portal.
In site diagnostics ,it will logs Detailed Error Logging which logs detailed information for HTTP status codes that indicate a failure (status 400 or greater).
Then you could access the folder "/LogFiles/DetailedErrors" via Ftp to check Detailed Error Logs which provide any HTTP errors have occurred.
For more information ,I suggest that you could refer to the link below:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-enable-diagnostic-log/

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?

503 Error Solution for Azure Websites- FYI

Yesterday all of my sites went down because I had a spending limit on my account. I removed the limit and all of my sites returned a 503 error. Everything showed normal on the Azure Portal dashboard. I spent the last day trying to figure out the problem
and implemented numerous trouble shooting steps, including creating a new website instance, restoring from a backup, etc.
The solution that finally worked was that I went to the Scale Tab on the site instance, and changed the Web Hosting Plan Mode from Standard to Basic, and then back again. My sites came back up with no 503 error. This was VERY frustrating.
Everything showed that the sites should be working. I could FTP into them, but could not hit them with a browser (503 error). I wanted to post this in case some other poor unsuspecting fool runs into this issue.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing.
There are some difference between azure website Standard mode and Basic mode, not only the features but also pricing, refer to
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/websites/ for more details, if you encounter this issue, restart may be another choice.

Windows Azure Website WCF baseAddress after Publishing to Azure

Hi!
I have a WCF service, hosted on IIS, that works fantastic when not published, (localhost).
If I however publish my project, (azure website, NOT cloudapp), to Azure it no longer works. I understand that there is no localhost with azure so I am fully aware that it should not work.
What I need help with
Would someone be so kind and provide me with a step by step guide on how to update the baseAddresses after the project is published? I have looked everywhere for this but I cant seem to find a guide.
WCF Service Library, App.config
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8080/UserWCF" binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IUserService" contract="Fildela_WCF.IFildelaService"
name="WSHttpBinding_IUserService">
<identity>
<userPrincipalName value="REFT\filip" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
<services>
<service name="Fildela_WCF.FildelaService">
<endpoint address="UserWCF" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="Fildela_WCF.IFildelaService" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8080" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
When published and navigating to pages that use the WCF service, i get this error:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions 127.0.0.1:2112
I have tried to set the baseAddress and endpoint address to my azurewebsite url, mywebsite.azurewebsites.net/8080 but it wont work. I am totally a newbie with this so please bear with me.
Thank you

Hi sir,
Did you try to use this link?
http://mywebsite.azurewebsites.net/yoursvcfilename.svc
I think you can try this link in your browser to check whether your deployment is rightly.
Any results, Please feel free to let me know.

Will

Creation of Microsoft Azure Website failed. The application already exists

Trying to create a new website, I get this error:
Creating Microsoft Azure Website
Creation of Microsoft Azure Website failed. The application already exists. The remote server returned an unexpected response: (409) Conflict.
I succeeded to create this website earlier on and then I deleted it as I didn't need it anymore.
Now I want to create it again but I get this error even though I've deleted all websites, hosting plans, cloud service, etc from my Azure account.
Any idea on how to fix this?

At this point, I don't know how it happened, but we'll need to dig deeper. I believe there is a sequence that can cause problems if you create a site via Current portal and delete it via Preview, but I'm not sure.
BTW, it seems you have 2 other sites that may be in the same situation (deleted in a way that you couldn't recreated them). They're 'shortl...dev' and 't..d' (not giving full name to avoid squatters!). Do you think you'll want to recreate them later? If
so, we can do the same maneuver to get back to a good state.

Creation of Microsoft Azure Website failed. Cannot move or create server. Subscription ' id ' will exceed server quota.

I'm trying to create a new MVC website with azure cloud server. However, when creating my project/solution in visual studio I get the following error.
Creation of Microsoft Azure Website failed. Cannot move or create server. Subscription '<id>' will exceed server quota.
During the day I created several MVC projects, as a learning exercise, and it worked fine. Now it's failing every time I create a new MVC website with Azure.
Every time I created a website, I have always deleted any generated Azure sites and databases via the management portal. Currently I have no websites in Azure. Thus I don't see how I've reached a quota,
Any ideas what might be going wrong?
My subscription is pay as you go.
Thanks for your time,
Rob

Hi,
It might be due to various other resources (sql DB, application insight, etc) that you may have created while deploying earlier websites, and filled up your Quota. Due to which, creating new resources would exceed the quota limit.
Check for the unused resources and clear them. It may clear the error and allow you to create new websites.
Otherwise, It should be an Account related issue than Technical issue. I suggest you contact Azure support, it is a best choice for you, Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/

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

Linking Azure website with Remote mysql database in Cpanel

I am creating an azure website eg calvynlee.azurewebsites.net
In my hosting cpanel account, I create a mysql db & user, in order to link the azure website with this mysql db, I had place a "%" in the remote mysql section.
It works, but when I remove the % from the remote mysql section. Azure website unable show error connection with my database.
Question:
Understand that placing % is allow all remote connection to my database. For security purpose, placing % is not recommended, and placing the website IP address is the most suitable practice.
Unfortunately, I place the website IP (by ping the website and obtain the IP) in remote mysql section is not working.
My cpanel service provider mention that the IP I obtain is not the right IP, there will be another host sever IP
What is the actual IP address I should put? and How to find this right IP?

Hi,
Based on your description, your mysql db is created in cpanel, and want to let the azure website connect with this db, I don't familar with cpanel, in general way the azure website request may be stopped by something, such as firewall etc.., as far as I
know, the azure Hybrid Connections may meet your requirement, you can connect a website on Microsoft Azure to any on-premises resource that uses a static TCP port, such as SQL Server, MySQL, HTTP Web APIs, Mobile Services, and most custom Web Services, refer
to
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-hybrid-connection-get-started/ for more details, hope this helps, if not, please feel free to let me know.

Azure Websites suspended - why, and how do I reactivate it? Cannot submit tech support request

Hello,
Our company has an Microsoft Action Pack subscription. I have an MSDN Subscription allocated to me. Through the MSDN Subscription, I have a monthly $70 Azure credit. I have been using this Azure credit to test Azure Websites.
I have noticed this month (March 2015) that two of my websites are showing "Suspended" in the portal.
I suspect this probably happened in January 2015 when we had a particularly busy testing month and I used up all my Azure credit for the month, however the current status leaves me puzzled:
1. I can't find a specific record of when, or why, the websites were suspended. Can someone tell me how to discover this?
2. If it was due to exhausting my monthly credit, why did they not become re-enabled the following month when my account went back into credit?
3. How do I raise a tech support ticket against this subscription for this problem, or other problems I may have with Azure during my development and testing?
I have had various fruitless phone and email exchanges with Microsoft representatives, often suggesting I purchase technical support for this subscription in order to submit a ticket. As an MSDN subscriber, I shouldn't need to, according to this blog post
from Microsoft:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mast/archive/2013/10/24/windows-azure-technical-support-for-msdn-technet-or-mpn-users-and-partners.aspx
However, the process described is not working for me, when it asks for my Contract ID and Access ID, it ignores it and redirects to the same screen without an error message.
As a software developer, it is still challenging to recommend Azure hosting to clients when services become suspended without warning or explanation, and technical support channels are unclear or broken.
Any insight appreciated.
Michael

Hi Cristhian,
Thank you for re-enabling the websites. So, my immediate issue is resolved in that the websites are running again, but I do have a question about the root cause of this issue.
If I use up my monthly credit before the end of the month and the websites get suspended again, will I need to repeat this process to get them re-enabled, or would you expect them to automatically re-enable when my account is back in credit?
I'm still having trouble lodging a technical support request for Azure under my MSDN subscription, but I will include the detail in a reply email to your colleague Sudha.
Thanks,
Michael
