I am trying to move our companies asp.net webforms application into the cloud and have decided to initially do a lift and drop into an Azure VM
I have provisioned a server 2008 R2 machine and all seems to be ok. I have installed and setup all the usual stuff around making the VM a web server including adding endpoints for ports: 80,443 etc and installed webdeploy 3.0
I am trying to use WebPublish from VS2012 and have tested it on an azure website using the download config and it works a treat but when I try and Validate Connection with the following setup:
Server [VM Machine name].cloupapp.net
Site name: [name of the site in iis 7.5]
User name: administrator
Password: ********
Destination URL: h t t p : / / w w w . [domain] .net (sorry about the spaces but wouldn't let me post with a link...)
It fails telling me:
Could not connect to the remote computer
("[VM Machine name].cloudapp.net). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at:
Unable to connect to the remote server
I guess first of all the question is can Web Deploy be used on a VM?
And does anyone have any decent walkthroughs or any other help?
Thanks in advance...
