I had a network failure while publishing (using visual studio webdeploy ) my webapp to azure. Later i tried again, Then i got the below error message.
Error 5 Web deployment task failed. (Web Deploy cannot modify the file 'NewRelic.Agent.Core.dll' on the destination because it is locked by an external process. In order to allow the publish operation to succeed, you may need to either restart your application to release the lock, or use the AppOffline rule handler for .Net applications on your next publish attempt.

So i restarted my webapp several times, but same exception. then i tried with FTP. That was also a failure. After few minutes i tried again with visual studio web deploy, then publishing succeeded. But now i am getting a 503 error- site under construction. Any idea?
Note: I tried app offline also. No hope
