Sharepoint hosting in Windows Azure is NOT supported nor recommended at this time. The stateless nature of the Windows Azure virtual machines makes is exceedingly difficult to reliable operation SharePoint in that envionment.

I highly recommend you abandon the current line of thinking and re-evaluate the scenario. Otherwise you are likely setting yourself up for a long and painful road that ultimate will be less than optimal.

Answer 4

Yes thats right , am not looking at Sharepoint to Maintain state,am using some of the features in My complex app.Moreover SP has been installed on my base image,so even if it reboots I dont have an issue. Lets say I want to display my default page in VM Image - IIS and not VM role IIS how can I achieve this

Answer 5

Hi,

You can set Sharepoint page as the default page in IIS (Thread: http://forums.asp.net/t/1366144.aspx), or write it in web.config's System.WebServer section. If you have multiple web applications in your project, please set the Sharepoing as the startup project with 80 port.

Another thing is if you want to use Sharepoint in Azure, you need extra lisences of SP.

Hope this helps.

Pinto,

the VM machine has a name - right?  Use this name in your path to sharePoint sites and site collections and that should do it.
