Deployed web app is not working

Question

I have a website developed in visual studio 2012 and the app contains activex controls. I have published the website and deployed on Microsoft Azure. And the app is connected to sql database of azure. When i browse the url of the app deployed in azure, throwing HTTP 500 error. Following is the error message.

Most likely causes: The website is under maintenance. The website has a programming error. This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

Hi,

I would request you to Enable diagnostics logging and check the complete error message what exactly is causing the issue, here is the article:

In Addition to Azam’s reply,

There might be an issue in the way you have hosted your app. May be multiple config files?
Do make sure, you have hosted your application correctly and check web.config file for any errors.

Also, you may want to check Deploy Web App to App Service if you have missed anything.
