I'm trying to update a cloud service deployment on azure. I can deploy fine to a test cloud service. However, when I try to deploy to our production cloud service's staging slot the publish to azure from visual studio completes with no errors but in azure I don't see the new deployment in the staging slot.
I have verified that it deployed to the staging slot instances because I can Remote Desktop into each of the servers and see the new code in IIS.
The only errors I see are on the servers, where there are IIS event warnings regarding:
The application / belonging to site xxx has an invalid AppPoolId.
Site xxx was disabled because the root application defined for the site is invalid.
A process serving application pool xxx terminated unexpectedly.
Sure enough, when I browse the website the old site is running and not the new one.
Greatly appreciate any pointers!
