Web Deploy w/ Windows Azure

Question

User-221752185 posted

I have a website that I have always deployed just fine using web deploy feature in Visual Studio to my windowsazure site. Starting this morning it stopped working... I get the following error:

Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("xxxxxxx.scm.azurewebsites.net") using the specified process ("Web Management Service") because the server did not respond. 

Make sure that the process ("Web Management Service") is started on the remote computer. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_COULD_NOT_CONNECT_TO_REMOTESVC.)

When I try to test the connection using the Validate Connection button it says the server returned 500 error. Does that mean there is something wrong with windows azure and microsoft is working on it? I have a .net 4.5 site deployed in West Europe region. This link doesn't really tell me much. http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/

Any pointers or help on how to troubleshoot this problem that just started?

Hi triggered,

The issue maybe caused by azure outage which you can refer to the link below:

I suggest that you can try to redeploy your project to check if it still have issue now.

I have been having similar problems with publishing to Azure from my Verizon DSL connection. This has always been very quick, but recently it is slow, and often times fails.

When I change to an AT&T network, it works fine.
