Deploying asp.net 5 application to azure

Question

I am trying to deploy my asp.net 5 mvc application to azure. First time I faced this error:

Deployment template validation failed: 'The provided value for the template parameter 'sku' at line '16' and column '17' is not valid.'.

Fixed it by creating web app in azure portal instead from visual studio.

Now I have this error:

Error EPERM, open 'C:\Windows\npm-debug.log' MapApp DNU 0

Cant find the solution of this problem , I tried to clean and rebuild my project, reopen visual studio. Also when I launch my app in local mode all is fine (i.e. no errors appears ).

P.S. Full error stack:

Answer 1

@Panich, I haven't seen that error myself so it will be hard to reproduce on my end.

I would suggest the following: create a new blank ASP.NET 5 web app, and deploy it to a test site on Azure. Add a few things to it, from your own application and redeploy it a couple of more times to see if it fails after adding any particular item.

Hope that helps you narrow down the issue.

I have just started with ASP.NET 5 and tried to create a self-hosted application. Thereby (by deploy the app to a directory) I also had the error:

EPERM, open 'C:\Windows\npm-debug.log'       

I then have noted, that to deploy a project from a network share seems not to be supported "out-of-the-box" (I think, there are some special settings / configurations to do, to make it work). Therefore, I have copied the project from the network-share to a local drive and then was able to deploy it. So.. I would try to copy the project to a local drive...
