Azure Resources WebApp deployed but not accessible from url - azure

I'm trying to access my app, hosted on azure.
I've a finished c# solution. When I commit changes to Azure DevOps it triggers a (working & successful) build-pipeline.
It runs tests, publishes an artifact & testresults.
In my ServicePlan status is Ready and I see Data Exchanges on DataIn & DataOut graphs.
The Deployment Center:
Bu when I click the https://mywebsite.azurewebsites.net, No webpage was found for the web address.
I have Some basic Azure DevOps expierence, but this Azure Portal is something else :)
My basic questions would be:
Why is it not working?
Do I need a second pipeline, only for release? Or can I recycle the build pipeline?
Do I need some kind of deployment slots? Before I select a not-free slot, I want to know if this is necessary
What else could I be missing?
(My Azure resources include a sql-server, a sql-db, the actual appservice & a app service plan)
Thanks!

If you deploy web app to Azure and login https://<app-name>.azurewebsites.net, then the page still shows Microsoft page instead you owner page. You need check the default document, please ensure that the default page is listed in here.
Steps: login azure portal->App Service->configuration->Default documents
In Azure Web Apps, the default document is the web page that is displayed at the root URL for a website. The first matching file in the list is used. Refer File structure on azure to know more about the files and directories on Azure Web App.
Update1
When I go to the azurewebsites.net url I get a 404: No webpage was found for the web address.
Check this doc:
If you receive an HTTP 404 (Not Found) error when you browse to the URL of your custom domain, verify that your domain resolves to your app's IP address by using WhatsmyDNS.net. If not, it might be because of one of the following reasons:
The custom domain configured is missing an A record or a CNAME
record.
The browser client has cached the old IP address of your domain.
Clear the cache, and test DNS resolution again. On a Windows machine,
you clear the cache with ipconfig /flushdns.
Update2
the URL in my appservice is Azure-generated right?
Yes, then app service url is generated by Azure.
With making a new app service and going to the URL I do get a message app service is up and running.Time to take the next step and deploy your code.
And now, we should get this page, we need create new service connection and re-configure build and release pipeline and deploy your app.
Note: We need use the same user account and AAD domain to do this.

How do I map a URL to a uksouth.cloudapp.azure.com website

I have a website running on Azure: -
e.g. mysite.uksouth.cloudapp.azure.com
I have purchased a domain e.g. www.mysite.co.uk
When I go to https://www.mysite.co.uk I want to display the website mysite.uksouth.cloudapp.azure.com.
I've tried adding an app service in azure, but it gives me the URL https://mysite.azurewebsites.net.
So https://www.mysite.co.uk now brings up a Azure welcome screen asking me to deploy my code.
How do I get https://mysite.co.uk to display https://mysite.uksouth.cloudapp.azure.com?
Thanks.
Ian.
I found this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-custom-domain-name-portal#add-a-cname-record-for-your-custom-domain
So I deleted my App Service in Azure, as that's not what I needed and followed the above instructions to configure the DNS for cloudapp.
You have to map your custom domain name to the web app. Below is the Microsoft doc with the steps.

How do I host a public static site as a web app?

I want the url www.example.com to display default.html
From this question I understand that the easiest way is still to create a web app.
[How not to do it]
I tried creating a solution in VS2017
File->New ->Project -> .Net Core -> Asp.Net Core Web Application-> Empty
Then I moved my static files into wwwroot and deployed
What do I need to change so that default.html will load when someone goes to the site?
At the moment if I remove the Program class I get a message
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS5001 Program does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point
which is understandable since it is a web application , how do I change it to be a static web site?
[A better way, create the app in Azure.]
Instead of the above method I created a new web app and followed the advise at this question to paste in index.html.
I can now go to the Azure url for the site and the correct content displays.
Next I need to get example.com to work.
I added the CName record for www in my DNS with the url for the site, and I also went to Custom Domains in Azure to add my domain name.
However I get the following error when I go to my site.
Error 404 - Web app not found.
The web app you have attempted to reach is not available in this Microsoft Azure App Service region. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. The web app owner has registered a custom domain to point to the Microsoft Azure App Service, but has not yet configured Azure to recognize it. Click here to read more.
When an app owner wants to use a custom domain with a Microsoft Azure Web Apps web app, Azure needs to be configured to recognize the custom domain name, so that it can route the request to the appropriate server in the region. After registering the domain with a domain provider and configuring a DNS CNAME record to point to the app's Azurewebsites.net address (for example, contoso.azurewebsites.net), the web app owner also needs to go to the Azure Portal and configure the app for the new domain. Click here to learn more about configuring the custom domains for a web app.
I got it working in the end. I must have missed a step in the documentation

Azure Custom Domain (Namecheap) not working without www

I thought I had all my mappings perfectly done:
I'm able to add the www.mydomain.me to azure but not mydomain.me. Is there something I'm missing?
Edit: When I attempt to point to mydomain.me in my broswer, I get the following error message:
Error 404 - Web app not found.
The web app you have attempted to reach is not available in this Microsoft Azure App Service region. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. The web app owner has registered a custom domain to point to the Microsoft Azure App Service, but has not yet configured Azure to recognize it. Click here to read more.
2. The web app owner has moved the web app to a different region, but the DNS cache is still directing to the old IP Address that was used in the previous region. Click here to read more.
Thanks
It's hard to tell what's wrong since you've hidden the settings. Here's what should work:
A Record points to the IP address found on the Azure portal
CName awverify points to awverify.yourservice.azurewebsites.net
CName www points to yourservice.azurewebsites.net

Can't browse to Azure Cloud Service site URL

I've deployed an Azure cloud service (not a web site) and I'm trying to access it via a browser. When I attempt to browse to the 'site url', it times out. Nor can I ping the Public VIP listed in the Azure dashboard for the service. Hrm.
Now, if I log on to one of the instance VMs, fire up IIS Manager and find the IP address it has listed for the web site, I can browse to that one. Weird.
I'm sure I'm just thick and am missing something simple here. Can anyone point me in a good direction to make my service's site url browsable?
The service definition I'm using is https://github.com/NuGet/NuGetGallery/blob/master/src/NuGetGallery.Cloud/ServiceDefinition.csdef, if that helps.
You can check the "endpoints" tab under the cloud service section of the Azure portal.
There should be an endpoint listed for HTTP that redirects to your VM. You can forward different public ports on the cloud service to individual ports on specific VMs within the cloud service.

How to activate Azure CDN for cloud service web role

I have created a CDN endpoint at [id].vo.msecnd.net, and I have deployed a production mvc4 cloud service web role.
It has images in a root-level /cdn folder, but I cannot get those images to load via cdn. I can access them via direct URL. For example, this works:
[site].cloudapp.net/cdn/eb303.gif
but not:
[id].vo.msecnd.net/eb303.gif
The cdn endpoint is enabled and set up under the hosted service that the web role is in. The documentation I have been reading indicates that nothing more is required. I am using a bizspark license, but as far as I can tell that should include CDN endpoints.
Is there a step I am missing?
Thanks!
Sometime it may take up to 1 hour before your CDN endpoint is ready to server your content. It does work with any kind of deployment staging or production.
Do you still have the problem? If you still have the problem you may need to contact Azure Support because if you have enabled the CDN, you should be good to go.
