Can't deploy ASP.net core RC2 targeting net451 or net46 to Azure Web App

I can't seem to be able to deploy my asp.net core RC2 app to Azure when I target the net451 or net46 framework.

When I try to reach my application I get the following error

The specified CGI application encountered an error and the server terminated the process.

Everything works when I deploy to my local IIS.

The Azure logger gives me

Failed to start process with commandline '%LAUNCHER_PATH% %LAUNCHER_ARGS%', Error Code = '0x80070002'.

I tried replacing %LAUNCHER_PATH% for dotnet and %LAUNCHER_ARGS% for myapp.exe in the web.config but still the same error occur.

Here is my project.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration": "1.0.0-rc2-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel": "1.0.0-rc2-final"
  },

  "tools": {
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools": {
      "version": "1.0.0-preview1-final",
      "imports": "portable-net45+win8+dnxcore50"
    }
  },

  "frameworks": {
    "net46": {}
  },

  "buildOptions": {
    "emitEntryPoint": true,
    "preserveCompilationContext": true
  },

  "runtimeOptions": {
    "gcServer": true
  },

  "publishOptions": {
    "include": [
      "wwwroot",
      "web.config"
    ]
  },

  "scripts": {
    "postpublish": [ "dotnet publish-iis --publish-folder %publish:OutputPath% --framework %publish:FullTargetFramework%" ]
  }
}

Thanks

Check the event log counterpart and see if there is anything interesting there. Turn on logging by setting stdoutLogEnabled to true and stdoutLogPath to \\?\%home%\LogFiles\stdout and see what's in the log.

Thanks Pawel, I've edited my question to show the result of your suggestion. – Matx
Did you try to download again the publish profile? – chemitaxis

It seems that updating my web.config to specify the processPath did the trick.

I also had to delete the previous publish attempts for it to work properly.

<aspNetCore processPath=".\myapp.exe" arguments="" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false" stdoutLogEnabled="true"  stdoutLogFile="\\?\%home%\LogFiles\stdout"/>

With the same symptoms I checked the logs as @Pawel suggested. The logs contained FileNotFoundException which was resolved by adding two dependencies to project.json.

"dependencies": {
  ...
  "System.IO.FileSystem.Watcher": "4.0.0-rc2-24027",
  "System.IO.FileSystem": "4.0.1-rc2-24027"
},

The issue is reported here

Azure doesn't support net461 and use better net451.

"scripts": {
    "postpublish": [ "dotnet publish-iis --publish-folder %publish:OutputPath% --framework %publish:FullTargetFramework%" ]
  }
