Azure Web app menu disabled - azure

For hosting one of our asp.net application, we created an Azure account which starts with a free trial. Then I created a web app from app services menu. After web app instance is deployed and ready, I clicked on the web app for changing the settings I get a window with all the menu options disabled.
Does the Azure Free trial subscription have any sort of restrictions?

A site in a free subscription is fully functional, so all this UI absolutely should be available. As you found, after creating a new site everything started working.
Now the question is what prevented this from not working in the first site. My take is that it was likely a glitch in the Azure Portal (yes, it still has a few bugs), and that a browser refresh would have solved it. If you run into this again and a Portal refresh doesn't solve it, we can investigate further.

Azure Could not create Static Web App (preview)

I am trying to add a static web app for the first time in Azure. I just signed up with a free account. I have a repository ready on GitHub and now I need to create the web app using the Azure Portal. These are the steps I've taken since signing in:
Navigated to Static Web Apps (Preview) page
Clicked "Add"
After I click Add, an error appears every time:
Oops!
Could not create a Static Web App (preview)
Something went wrong while creating Static Web App (preview)
Has anyone experienced this? Is this normal and I missed a step?
I had a similar problem this morning when I was creating a web app using App Service. I was using the Brave browser. I tried it with the new Microsoft Edge browser and it worked flawlessly. It might be due to a cache problem.
So my suggestions are:
Clear the cache and try again
Try it in another browser like the new Microsoft Edge or Firefox Mozilla.
Let me know if it helps!

Azure Active Directory Signin Apps Always Create Enterprise App with no ability to set replyUrls

In the past there was both the separate website AND the Azure classic portal for managing Signin Apps. In the Classic portal it would give you the ability to edit the ReplyUrls.
In the new portal no matter how you create an app (Enterprise or Application Registration) you can't edit your ReplyUrls from the UI. (With Application you can set them the first time but then they don't show up in the Application list from then on so it's impossible to edit them)
Meanwhile these same apps can have their replyUrls updated using Powershell without any problem.
To me this is a blocker bug, but maybe I'm doing something wrong? I've successfully gotten only 1 application to show up under application registrations. All others including ones created back in the Azure Classic day show up in Enterprise applications without even the Sign On Option showing up in the list of options for the application per the instructions on Microsoft's website.
I can private message an app Id as an example.
The user experience of the Azure portal changed for the worse (in my opinion).
I also had trouble finding my old apps... turns out they are now "hidden" by default.
they don't show up in the Application list from then on so it's impossible to edit them)
You will find them under "all apps".

Where has my app gone - Microsoft Azure App Services

Started using the new Azure portal but some of our test apps seem to have disappeared under App Services. In the old portal these lived a level below the main app (deployment slots) and needed a triangle icon to be pressed to view them. Searching under "App services" does not reveal them.
The sites in question still work fine, so they must be there somewhere...
These are deployment slots.
Look for the deployment slots in the All Settings blade of the main Web App.

Azure Web apps missing from VS2013 Server Explorer

I'm running Visual Studio 2013 Premium and I've installed Microsoft Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 v 2.5. I'm signed in with my Microsoft Account that also has admin permission in my Azure subscription.
The problem is that I can't see any web apps in the server explorer; I want to try remote debugging. I see a bunch of other Azure artifacts, but no web apps. Service bus and SQL databases lists content I expect. In screenshots I've seen on various MSDN posts, there should be a separate web apps node. I see an App Services node that doesn't list anything. All web apps are listed when I go to manage.windowsazure.com and portal.azure.com.
The App Service node has a context menu that allows me to create a new site. I did that and things got created correctly but nothing is displayed under the node.
This problem exists on both my home machine and work machine; both running a version of Windows 8.1. On my home machine I've re-installed the Azure tools without any effect.
I thought this too, for months. They renamed web sites to web apps, and are still seemingly renaming/moving things around. I just discovered my web site now live in Azure\App Service\<resource group> within Server Explorer. I can't see the individual slots, though I don't know or remember if that was possible previously...
I'm having a similar issue. Mine is a bit more complicated in that I have multiple subscriptions and the App Service node under Azure is only displaying the app service (web site) for my MSDN subscription but nothing from my corporate subscriptions. Yet all the other nodes like SQL Databases does show the complete list across all subscriptions.
Fixed! I updated the Azure tools to version 2.6 (I had 2.5). I then right-clicked on the Azure node and selected "Manage and Filter Azure Subscriptions". I made sure that all my subscriptions were selected and then clicked the tab "Regions" and made sure all the regions were also selected. I previously had filtered the regions to only North America as I have no intentions of creating a website in Asia...;)
After I saved the changes the Azure node refreshed and all the sites appeared as expected. I think the core issue was the filtering of the regions. Even though all my sites are located in Central-US and that check box was clicked, it wasn't until I removed all filtering for Regions that my sites finally appeared.

Published Web app to Azure, how do I browse to it, monitor it?

I have created my first app for azure. It's has an MVC3 web role which writes some data to table storage.
It also has a worker role that does some work behind the scenes to the same data.
It all works fine in the emulator.
I've uploaded it all to Azure as a staging deployment, the hosted service it is reports all roles as "ready". The health for all roles is "healthy", though the worker role appears to crash and goes to "degraded" and then resets itself (I assume this is what is happening).
So what now? I have found a "DNS Name" on my Web Role in the form "http://{guid}.cloudapp.net/"
Clicking on that link just gives me a network access error, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ can't find it either.
What am I missing? Where can I see diagnostics similar to the emulator? I've set "Enable Diagnostics" to use my Azure storage account in each role. How do I get into the storage to see if it has traced anything? Can this be done through the Management Portal?
I've tried searching through MSDN, but I can't find a page that says "and then you click the DNS name link and your website will launch. I'm sure there is a lovely page like that but I can't find it.
thanks in advance!
In August 2011, the Windows Azure role templates were updated to work with the ASP.NET Universal Providers. As such, when you create a new project, the session state provider is backed by SQL Express by default. If you don't change this to SQL Azure or Cache (or disable session state), you'll run into issues.
I'm not sure this is exactly the issue you're running into, but it's a common one. See Nate Totten's blog post for more information about this (Nate calls out this issue a few pages down, under IMPORTANT NOTE).
You can access diagnostics data directly from Visual Studio Server Explorer.
Here you have all necessary information: Browsing Storage Resources with Server Explorer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ff683677.aspx
Personally I use Azure Diagnostics Manager from Cerebrata http://www.cerebrata.com/products/AzureDiagnosticsManager/ that is easy and has a good dashboard
