Could not validate web app name (Azure) - azure

I'm trying create a web app on Azure, but no matter what i name my URL, it always warn me that
Could not validate web app name
What could have cause this problem? Any ideas that could fix this problem? thank you. I'm thinking about deploying my app on Winhost if the issue won't be solved (please hear me out, I've tried a lot of names here but it still says the samething).

It is the preview (i.e. BETA) portal. I have experienced lots of weirdness like this. Try the old portal - manage.windowsazure.com

I hit this after deleting an API App to recreate on a new App Service Plan with the same name.
(In Chrome) I cleared storage for the site https://portal.azure.com, refreshed the page (F5), and the problem was immediately solved.

"403 - This web app is stopped" when deploying to Azure from VSCode

I have a web app, ironradio.org, that I've deployed on Azure from VSCode. I've made some updates to the site and am now trying to deploy the newest version. Now when I try to deploy using this button:
I get the error 403 - This web app is stopped in the output window:
I've already deployed several versions of the site using the same method and it's never failed before. Also, the app is definitely not stopped because I can still browse to the site and it shows up.
My best guess as to what's going on is that I associated the App Service with a new resource group since the last deployment, so maybe VSCode isn't recognizing that? Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
I tried the link given in the error message, but it wasn't much help.
Microsoft foreseen this type of error and how it can affected its customers greatly and this is why the deployment slot is for you.
Firstly, you have to delete the app and reupload again except you set up continuous deployment which work mostly with GitHub and other version control platforms.
Apart from this, I will suggest you check out the deployment slot docs. It’s very simple and easy to use

Deleted azure app service still accessible

I deleted azure webapp through azure portal. It seems it is deleted because when I run:
az webapp list
my deleted web app is not showing. But I can still access it oldwebapp.azurewebsites.net.
And it's showing in google search as well. Is there any cache I need to clear or other places I can check to fully remove it?
Also checked other places if there is any connection to this old web app, but didn't find any or don't know where to look.
I have also encountered a similar situation and found that the resource has been deleted after checking in portal. Sometimes visit it using InPrivate window also succeed.
It seems that this is a bug, and you don't need to care about it, or if necessary, you can also submit a bug in a GitHub Issue.
If you need to use the url again by creating a new webapp with the same name, try deploy a new project and access it, it should be refresh to the new one.

Azure - Cannot edit Application Settings. Says they are deleted?

Whenever I create a new App on Azure I cannot edit any of the Application Settings as it says they are deleted? What is going on here?
TIA,
Alex
This can happen when you have created an App Service, deleted it, and then made it again with the same name.
Try from a different browser or clear your cache.

Azure error: Failed to swap web app slots: There was an error processing your request

I apparently can't swap the slots for my Azure Web App.
This is critical for me, because I can't release a new version to fix issues on our platform.
The Azure Portal doesn't give me any further info.
Anyone has this before? Any workarounds?
Since this is urgent for you, here's a workaround: you can create a new Web App so that you have separate endpoints to deploy Staging and Production. Make sure you update any custom domain entries so that your users can get to the correct URL each time.
To troubleshoot further, contact Azure Support ASAP to let them know that your slots aren't swapping for some reason. If you find the issue, please comment below in case it is helpful to others as well.
All the best!

Azure deployment fails because service not found

I am currently trying to deploy a cloud service to Windows Azure but I get the following error message:
"Could not retrieve the list of cloud services.[...]"
Details can be seen on the picture.
It seems to me that VS couldn't find an existing service role in the subscription but my service is available and running, I just can not deploy a new version there.
A few days ago it worked correctly. Any Idea would be appreciated.
Thank you!
After hours of Certificate generation, messing with azure toolkit, etc. I figured out that the problem was that somehow my computer tried to resolve the azure DNS to localhost because Fiddler got crazy and the proxy that Fiddler uses, haven't stopped even after restarting my computer.
I faced same problem, when trying to deploy to azure while fiddler is running. Simply closing fiddler solve the problem.
Go to the previous screen, there will be an option of connecting to Azure using your credentials. Select your subscription and you will be able to download a file to your local machine. That file contains your subscription info as well as the keys. Once you open that file through this wizard, you will be able to publish to your services. You must create cloud services first before you do that.
