Azure WebApp PageMethod fails - azure

I have created a Azure Web App and published my application from Visual Studio and I can access the website as expected. However, the aspx web pages in the website use calls to PageMethods using the asp.ScriptManager. All works fine if I host through IIS on a web server but any calls when hosted as an Azure Web App returns "Object doesn't support property or method....".
After some more investigation, I get 'Sys' is undefined and checking the network monitor, WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd return a 404. Odd
Does Azure not support this? Or am I missing some configuration?

Found the solution. I was running the WebApp in Classic mode. Switched to Integrated mode and the script files are delivered.

Connecting to an Azure App Service via IIS Manager (inetmgr)

Is it possible to remote-connect to an Azure App Service running on Windows with my IIS Manager?
This seems to have been possible according to this blog post by clicking in IIS Manager File -> Connect to a site.
I refer to the steps mentioned in the link shared by you and in the last step I got an error below.
I did some research on it and it looks like managing the App Service from IIS is not supported anymore. I have not got any official link but the below links might give you some information on it.
Microsoft.Web.Configuration.AppHostFileProvider not found after configured Remote IIS Administration for Microsoft Azure Web App
Can no longer manage any Web Apps with IIS Remote Manager - Could not load file or assembly - AppHostFileProvider
I'm not sure for what purpose why you want to. My thoughts is you shouldn't be doing that as it defeat the purpose of PaaS services. Cannot access the iis layer in app service however you can still configure in web.config of your web app.

Forms Authentication not working in Azure app service

I have a .NET MVC 4 application with .net framework 4.6.1 with forms authentication enabled. Is it possible to have this hosted in Azure app services. I am not finding an option in app services to have forms authentication enabled and getting the attached message when I navigate to the website.
I have the application taking me to the login page on a local server with IIS however not being able to make it work in App services. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I was able to get this working by fixing a connection string which was causing an error however the message for default document not set in azure may have been misleading.

Azure Web Api Resource Not Found

I have a web api application that I have deployed in a virtual machine running windows server 2012 sql edition.
I am trying to move it off of the vm into Azure web sites.
I can debug the application on my local development computer having it attach to the new sql storage and that all works fine.
I also can still run it on the vm it is currently in.
When I deploy to Azure web sites, however, when I try to do a web api call I get:
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
I have tried debugging the site, but it never hits any of the entry points that I can think to put break point in.
Can someone please help me figure out what is going on?

NServiceBus 4 with Windows 8 and Azure WebRole Issue

Running a webrole that is using NServiceBus 4 hangs when running in the local emulator. I have duplicated this on several windows 8 machines. Works fine on Windows 7. It appears that the only way to get it to run is to change the azure project (web settings) to "Use IIS Web Server." I am running Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 and Azure 2.0 SDK.
Here is how you can duplicate the problem by working with the PubSub sample from here:
http://particular.net/articles/windows-azure-transport
Build the project and run it to verify that it works out of the box
Now change the Web settings by right clicking on the azure project and Selecting the "Use IIS Express" option on the web tab.
Run the project now
The web role will simply hang. Any ideas? Running under IIS Express is preferred for many reasons.
there seem to be some known issues with IISExpress and Azure. Could you have a look at these pages and see if they help

WCF RIA Services Domain Service not found when debugging with Windows Azure cloud project

I am trying to debug a Windows Azure Cloud project locally with Visual Studio 2012 running the Windows Azure SDK 1.7 on a Windows 8 PC with IIS 8 Express. The cloud project includes a Web Role running an ASP.NET MVC 3.0 web project that includes WCF RIA Services that in turn links to a Silverlight project hosted on that web site. When I run the web site directly and do not try to debug the Azure cloud project I am able to access the web site and the Silverlight application and the RIA Services are accessible with absolutely no issues. If however I debug the Azure Cloud project the emulators start up and the web site comes up. I am able to then access the Silverlight application but when it tries to make a request back to the WCF RIA Services Domain Service I receive an error from the IIS Server stating that the domain service is not available. I then try to go directly against the WCF RIA Service endpoint to see if it will come up outside the Silverlight application and again I receive a 404 Not Found response when going to the *.svc endpoint.
I have gone through various searches to try and resolve the issue and I have used Fiddler to ensure the network requests are not having any issues. I have not been able to identify any problems. I also tried turning on WCF tracing to see if any errors comes up, but the trace files are not even updated when I debug through the Azure Cloud project.
After repeatedly getting this behavior I have attempted a complete re-install of Visual Studio 2012 and the Azure 1.7 SDK, but I still get the same behavior. Does anyone have a suggestion of what the issue may be or how I might try and track down the issue, since the WCF tracing is not offering me any additional information?
Strange. Could you try this sample project, which is quickly created with VS2012 on W8 using IIS8 Express, .NET 4.0, MVC3 hosting Domain Service and Silverlight consuming that domain service. Everything works just fine.
If that project runs at your environment fine - then it might be some missconfiguration of your web.config/global.asax file. If that project also fails in your environment - then it might be something very messy with the environment.
