Asp.net core 2.0 migrate from 1.x published to Azure not working HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure

Question

I, have migrated from Asp.net core 1.x to 2.0. The application was working perfectly on 1.x with Azure Hosting. Now when I published the application I am getting an errors as

When I, check the Logs I am getting an errors as

Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: The short switch '-argFile' is not defined in the switch mappings. at Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.CommandLine.CommandLineConfigurationProvider.Load() at Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.ConfigurationRoot..ctor(IList`1 providers) at Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilder.Build() at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.WebHostBuilder.BuildCommonServices(AggregateException& hostingStartupErrors) at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.WebHostBuilder.Build() at FalconWebsite.Program.BuildWebHost(String[] args) in D:\Ecommerce\FalconWebsite\FalconWebsite\Program.cs:line 14 at FalconWebsite.Program.Main(String[] args) in D:\Ecommerce\FalconWebsite\FalconWebsite\Program.cs:line 10

Here is my Program.cs file

using Microsoft.AspNetCore;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;

namespace FalconWebsite
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BuildWebHost(args).Run();
        }

        public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
            WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseStartup<Startup>()
                .Build();
    }


}

Web.config File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <!--
  Configure your application settings in appsettings.json. Learn more at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=786380

  <appSettings>
      appSettings in web.config is no longer used in ASP.NET Core, instead use appsettings.json
  </appSettings>
  -->
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
    </handlers>
    <aspNetCore processPath="bin\IISSupport\VSIISExeLauncher.exe"  arguments="-argFile IISExeLauncherArgs.txt" stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false" />
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I did, some research from these HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure asp.net core 2.0 https://github.com/aspnet/IISIntegration/issues/406 Asp.Net Core 2.0 on Azure results in a 502.5 https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/7741

From the link the solution was to remove arguments="-argFile IISExeLauncherArgs.txt" But this doesn't solve my problem and no new errors in the logs files.

Answer 1

Can anyone please let me know whats wrongs

I assume that the issue is that with asp.net core 2.0, it does not do that anymore with 1.x do. As the DLL are picked up from a global store. However, Visual Studio does not clean the destination folder before a publish. So you could remove the addional files at destination.

Update:

In order to catch the detail exception on the azure, add the following code in the Startup.cs file.

After publish to azure then I got the following exception.

It seems a known issue and I resolve it by add the following code in the Startup.cs file

services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(Configuration);
