You do not have permission to view this directory or page

Question

I am brand new to this.

I have a signal R web site that I want to deploy so I have been trying to learn hoe to do that.

I followed the deployment of the chat example and that worked fine.

I have now tried to download and publish the stockTicker example but I get

"You do not have permission to view this directory or page"

I googled and found that I needed to set the default page so I have put the following in the web.config

<system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
      <files>
        <clear />
        <add value="StockTicker.html"/>
      </files>
    </defaultDocument>    
  </system.webServer>

I also saw that I should turn on the failed requests logging which I did and I tried to look at it using FTP and I get

"530 user cannot log in"

I am getting disheartened. can anybody help?

Answer 1

How are you deploying your app to your Azure Web Site? e.g. are you publishing from VS, or are you using git?

For FTP, please try:

• On the Dashboard, click 'Reset your deployment credentials' and set them, to make sure that they are what you think
• Also, on Dashboard, look under DEPLOYMENT / FTP USER to find the full username you need to use to connect. It will look like YourSiteName\YourUserName
• I suggest using Filezilla, which is a solid FTP client

Answer 2

I have given up on this as I was only doing it as a learning experience. Thank you for the advice on using FTP which I will try on the real web page I am trying to deploy which I am also having different problems.

That will be the subject of a different question.

Kudu Diagnostic Console is a good choice for you!

The Kudu Console is a tool that gives you both command line and file browser access to your sites, all from the comfort of a web browser.

If you start at the root of the Kudu service, you'll see a Debug console menu item that leads to the Kudu Console.

Hi Pritam,

This is a very all thread, so your issue is likely different. Can you start a new thread instead, with more details about what you are encountering?
