Web Role instance unable to start.

Question

Hi, folks,

 i have a problem with deploying my web role. It always cycling : initialize, busy, initialize, busy ...

I read many articles/posts about troubleshouting, such as 

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jnak/archive/2010/06/07/using-intellitrace-to-debug-windows-azure-cloud-services.aspx and 

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazure/thread/6c739db9-4f6a-4203-bbec-eba70733ec16, but nothing worked for me.

Then i tried deploy web role with Intellitrace feature. I saw some exception, but when i try debug this logs, i get "No Sorce available".

Thera are exceptions :

Thrown: "Thread was being aborted" (System.Threading.ThreadAbortException)

Thrown: "Thread was being aborted" (System.Threading.ThreadAbortException)

Thrown: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation"(System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException)

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.StorageClientException : The specified blob does not exists.

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StoraeClient.StorageClientExceptipn: The specified container already exists

 

Does anybody know how to fix it ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Try running intellitrace, but deploy a debug build so the symbols are also deployed, then you will be able to see the source in intellitrace. 

it looks as if somewhere in your code, a blob container is trying to be created and it alreay exists.  Check your code and see where you might be creating a container.
