Trouble shooting
1. Deployment Pending Content Error
Issue: After deploying the first ASP.NET app, Azure displayed the message:
“Your web app is running and waiting for your content.”
Cause: Content was not correctly published from Visual Studio to Azure.
Resolution: Used Publish option in Visual Studio → reselected App Service target →
confirmed that project files were included. After republishing, the app loaded successfully.
2. Multiple OnPost() Methods Conflict (C# App)
Issue: While adding greeting and calculator features, the C# IndexModel had two OnPost()
methods, causing build errors.
Cause: ASP.NET Razor Pages only allows a single OnPost() per page.
Resolution: Combined into one method with an action parameter (e.g., "greet" or
"calculate").
3. Missing PHP Execution
Issue: PHP files placed under /php/ folder returned 404 Not Found when accessed on
Azure.
Cause:
Initial deployment was to a Static Web App, which doesn’t support PHP.
PHP was also mistakenly embedded inside .cshtml Razor pages, which ASP.NET cannot
interpret.
Resolution:
Learned that PHP requires an App Service with PHP runtime.
Moved PHP code into .php files, and deployed separately to a PHP App Service.
Linked C# Razor app to PHP app using an <a href> link.
4. Namespace Registration Error
Issue: Deployment attempt triggered:
“The subscription is not registered to use namespace 'Microsoft.OperationalInsights'.”
Cause: The Azure subscription was not registered for that resource provider.
Resolution: Registered the provider via Azure Portal → Subscriptions → Resource Providers
→ Register Microsoft.OperationalInsights.
5. Wrong Azure Service Chosen
Issue: Initially created a Static Web App, which caused problems with running PHP and
server-side C#.
Cause: Static Web Apps only support HTML, CSS, and JS.
Resolution: Recreated the app using App Service (Web App) with appropriate runtime
(ASP.NET Core for C#, PHP 8.x for PHP).
6. PHP Form Validation Placement
Issue: Tried embedding PHP form validation code directly inside a Razor (.cshtml) page.
This caused build errors.
Cause: ASP.NET Core does not parse PHP code.
Resolution: Kept PHP code in its own PHP file and linked it separately from the main Razor
app.
Outcome:
• Successfully deployed an ASP.NET C# multi-feature app (Greeting, Calculator,
Quotes).
• Successfully deployed a PHP app with form validation as a separate Azure Web
App.
Both apps are running on Azure and can be linked together.
