Publishing 6.2 to Azure - Failed to start VM

Hi,

Over the past few days I have been having problems deploying Sitefinity 6.2 to Azure.

I have deployed 6.2 before with no problem, however whenever I deploy now, it all goes fine until the VM tries to start. I get the error "Failed Starting VM".

I tried creating a new cloud service with new storage, but still having the same issue.

Operation logs are showing 200, successful.

As I said, it was working last week - Has anything changed?

Thanks,

Gary

P.S I also tried a blank installation of Sitefinity and still no luck

Hi,

I have deployed sitefinty 6.2 blank site to azure without issue and the problem must be in the deployment steps. Make sure for the deployment you are using the latest version of sitefinity thunder to automate the deployment process and sitefinity configuration requirements for Azure and the Azure SDK version installed at the machine that performs the deployment is 1.8.0.0 . With this the virtual machine will startup with success.

Hi,
on my development machine there is installed Azure SDK 2.2, can i deploy Sitefinity manually with this version?

Hi,

It will not be possible to deploy using this version sitefinity is compiled with Micorosoft.WindowsAzure.* assemblies for version 1.8.0.0 and I think you will be able to perform the deployment, but a problem will occur when starting the virtual machine that will run the deployment.
