I'm trying to create a build in Team Services (Visual Studio Online) but am having a few issues.
My first step is to create a new build and I've selected the template Deployment -> Azure Web App
Then in the build step for Azure Deployment I need to select my Azure subscription. This list is currently empty so I select Manage to add a new one.
Following the instructions here I try to add a new endpoint but it says to select the one called 'Azure' but in my list I've got 'Azure Classic' and 'Azure Resource Manager'. Which one should I use?
I've tried 'Azure Resource Manager' and used the details to generate service key etc using the Powershell script as said in the previous link. Now the status just stay at 'Connecting to service using Service Principal' and is not selectable in the list.
How do I get Team Services to see my Azure subscription?
I must say, I've found the documentation for this a bit lacking in that a lot of the Microsoft sites still use the classic portal or older versions for the sites.
Starting from the end of your question, one of the reasons of that is that some functionality is not available yet on the new portal. As far as i know, all of the functionality should migrate to the new portal in a future.
For Azure Web App, please add the New Service Endpoint using classic mode (and i prefer to do that using certificate - very simple). Then, when adding the web site as the build step (for example), select your added subscription and you should be good to go.

I have created a web API, and now I want to deploy it. Unfortunately, when I try to publish my web API, I need to sign in or create a new account on the App Service step.problematic step
When I try to log in or even create a new account - it accepts it but doesn't allow me to go further and open the App Service settings like this: enter image description here
In my case, it was because I didn't activate any subscription. But in my opinion, instead of just not allowing me to deploy my WEB API, they could also specify the cause.
I want to publish an web application on Azure market place.
I can create a Linux VM, install Java, Tomcat, SQL server and create an image of it. But instead of that, is it possible to create a tomcat instance along with database on Azure portal, add it to a resource group and publish this resource group on market place?
Would this approach be more advantageous?
thanks
As per the doc here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace-publishing/marketplace-publishing-getting-started
Azure Marketplace offerings are based on Azure VM images or solution templates, your current solution would be the VM based route. It sounds like you may want to look at the solution template route to leverage other capabilities such as Azure SQL Server.
Neither route enable "publish this resource group to the market place". If that is the route you are aiming for that is essentially building out a multi-tenant application which is a bigger task and perhaps something like this link will help get you started:

Given a VS web app project that has an existing Azure publish profile is there a way to tell what subscription the selected publish profile will publish the app to? We have such so many subscriptions it's quite time consuming to to use the portals poor blade interface to locate which subscription the app is in. Even opening the SCM site it seems apps know nothing about it's subscription.
As I know, we don't need Azure subscription information to publish our project. What we need is contentPath, ComputerName, UserName& Password when you use msdeploy. The following is the parameters that used to deploy:
.\msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:contentPath='E:\code' -dest:contentPath='sub2',ComputerName='https://waws-prod-sn1-047.ftp.azurewebsites.windows.net/msdeploy.axd?site=sub2',UserName='$sub2',Password='key',AuthType='Basic'
If we published project to Azure, we have no easy way to see which subscription it belongs to. I suggest you submit a voice at Azure feedback forum.
When configuring continuous deployment in Team Project with http://portal.azure.com, I receive the following error:
Unable to locate blade 'ExistingWebsitesPickerBlade' in extension
definition. Search
path:'[0]WebsitesExtension-[1]ExistingWebsitesPickerBlade'.
Any ideas?
There is nothing wrong in the process of what you are doing, but this is indeed a bug where the new portal.azure.com fails to provide you the right blade containing your existing websites to configure continous deployment.
As you can see, this is a fairly regular error that others are experiencing throughout the whole portal experience.

There might also be an issue connected to which subscription level you are currently using (ex. BizSpark, Dreamspark, Pay-as-you.go etc.) which makes the portal fail in specific areas because of the former.
Provide adequate details for your subscription level to the Azure support team (create an incident), and they are your best bet at getting through with Continuous Deployment in the new Azure portal.
I currently have a Web Application and SQL Database instance published on my own personal Azure trial subscription. However the app is now finished and I want to hand ownership over to the person I am creating it for. So I want to publish it to his Azure subscription, so he can look after billing, monitor, and have ownership of the application etc.
I asked him to add me as a user to his account, and now I see his company name listed as a 'Directory' from the portals home page (along with my Default Directory, my Web App, and my SQL Database). I don't know how to proceed from here. I want to be able to Publish it from Visual Studio 2013 - then run my code first migrations to create the database, all to a location that his company and not me is responsible for.
Is my approach to this wrong? In a general sense, how do you develop a test application (and test it in Azure) and publish it for someone else on Azure?
The first comment on the question is sort of what I am trying to achieve:
Transfer all data from my account to another in the same Azure subscription
"What do you mean by from my account to another in the same Azure subscription? Normally I have seen folks want to move data from one subscription to another one (say from Dev Subscription to Prod Subscription)."
But if I just transfer the app I wouldn't be able to make changes in VS and re-publish it, for example.
EDIT:
I found this article on Migrating an enterprise web app to an Azure service. Would it be possible to Publish the app to my local dev machine (with local database), then use the Migration Assistance to move it to Azure? Obviously to do this I would need my clients Microsoft ID and password to log into his subscription which is not ideal.
You will first want to make sure that the subscription appears in your "Subscription list" in the top right corner and is selected.
I am assuming you have connected your VS with your Azure subscription and are able to publish your app to your subscription from here, and that the new subscription is "missing" from your selection. But now you have been added to a new subscription but have not updated VS. Remove and readd Azure Subscriptions from VS. This should require you to log into Azure, and should pull updated account information.
Now when you Deploy your app, you will be able to select which Subscription you want to deploy it into.
