Goal
I'm trying to install IIS on remote server using azure devops. I have done this on other vm servers without issue.
Problem
When running this stage the Agent Errors with very little details

I had a operating bot that I tried to push an update to and got a failure response. I tried building and deploying in Kudu with no luck either. Just as a sanity check I also made a brand new echobot on Azure and tried to run the build and deploy commands in Kudu Console.
EDIT: Meant to mention I've seen a few other mentions of similar issues including:
Error - Access is denied - deployment to Azure App Services

An error has occurred during web site deployment.
We arrived at an answer in this thread: Microsoft Help Link
For the default Echobot project generated by Azure you need a global.json file in "D:\home\site\wwwroot" with the following code. You can get to this folder by using the Kudu debug console.
{
"sdk": {
"version": "3.1.202"
}
}
The issue is recently introduced by latest dotnet sdk (2.1.515 and 3.1.301) versions. This impacts the projects with custom deployment script still using dotnet restore and publish to build.Could you please try the below workaround in deploy.cmd to fix it.
SET MSBUILD_PATH=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\MSBuild-16.4\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe
call :ExecuteCmd "%MSBUILD_PATH%" -t:Restore "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\my-solution.sln"
call :ExecuteCmd "%MSBUILD_PATH%" -t:Publish "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\vstar-next\my-proj.csproj" -p:OutputPath="%DEPLOYMENT_TEMP%" -p:Configuration=Dev
By using the example here, we are trying to export a site from 2008 server and import it in 2016 server.
Export (in 2008):
msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:apphostconfig="Default Web Site" -dest:package=c:\dws.zip
Import (in 2016):
msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:package=c:\dws.zip -dest:apphostconfig="Default Web Site"
This works in my VM. However, when we try to do it in the actual server, import fails with this error:
Error: Source (contentPath) and destination (appHostConfig) are not
compatible for the given operation.
Export command is somehow converting the package to contentPath provider. Additionally, even though this document says that the package provider can be combines with other providers, we still get the not compatible error above.
Any ideas?
I'm unable to publish (WebDeploy) my Azure Function App (It's a Durable Function, I know it deosn't matter, but, just in case if matters). This started happening today.
I'm getting a "Publish Failed" popup and the below error message in the output window of my Visual Studio.

Function Runtime - beta
When I access the Function App Url in a browser I get "Your Function App 2.0 preview is up and running" message". And, I don't see anything wrong in the Kudu portal as well.
I have deleted the Function and re-created it with the same name with no luck.
Any help is much appreciated.
Update : Here is another error that I'm getting as well.

I fixed this issue by setting WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE to 0 on the application settings. I was uploading the function files by syncing a WebDeploy package from Azure DevOps to the App Service file system and not running it from the .zip package.
On https://learn.microsoft.com/bs-cyrl-ba/azure/azure-functions/run-functions-from-deployment-package explains about running Functions from a deployment package and all the benefits of doing it this way, but then remember to:
Just upload the .zip deployment package to d:\home\data\sitepackages (don't use the msdeploy verb "sync" to sync the file system at wwwroot)
Add a packagename.txt containing only the name of the package file in folder, without any whitespace
Go to azure portal, stop the function app, publish from vs, then start again.
Don't know if this is closed but I had same issue while deploying new SDK version to an older azure function app. Here is what I did:
Instead of downloading deployment profile from Azure portal, created a new one with visual studio automated deployment.
This is important- While deploying from Visual studio it should ask you to upgrade version of deployed app, click yes and your app will get deployed.
Can't reproduce your error when using WebDeploy with SCM. When I set WEBSITE_WEBDEPLOY_USE_SCM to false(in Application settings) to avoid using SCM, I saw An error was encountered when processing operation 'Create Directory' on 'wwwroot' like the second error you have met.
Several options to try:
Visit https://functionappname.scm.azurewebsites.net in browser to check whether your network environment is fine and has no firewall restriction.
Check whether you have proxy set like Fiddler when publishing.
Go to portal, Reset publish credentials then Download publish profile. Delete old publish profiles and import the new one to publish again.
If all of those suggestions fail, delete all old resources relate to the function. Then create a brand new function app with new app service plan and storage. Try to publish to this new app.
This seems to happen to me when I have made changes that for some reason necessitate the following.
Rebuild the project (make sure you can run it locally).
Click to publish, but prior to that click on "Manage Application Settings" do
a quick check and click OK.
Attempt to publish.
If that fails close visual studio and azure portal (stop running or disable all relevant objects) and repeat.
Worst case create a new profile and deploy to that.
It was easy to miss for me...but the Function on Azure was blocking my publish from Visual Studio 2017.
What was needed was a restart of the Function on Azure.
1) Go to Azure Portal and click into your Function app.
2) Click on the name of your Function, and then in the Overview tab - in the second-row menu you should see Restart. (You'll see it in the row with: Stop - Swap - Restart - Get publish profile...etc.)
3) Click Restart
4) Go back to Visual Studio 2017 and Republish.
My error message which I initially missed:
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.2.103\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish\build\netstandard1.0\PublishTargets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish.MSDeploy.targets(140,5): error : Web deployment task failed. (Web Deploy cannot modify the file 'MyApp.Functions.dll' on the destination because it is locked by an external process. In order to allow the publish operation to succeed, you may need to either restart your application to release the lock, or use the AppOffline rule handler for .Net applications on your next publish attempt. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_FILE_IN_USE.) [C:\Github\2019AzureBlobLocalOnly\MyApp.Functions\MyApp.Functions.csproj]
A similar issue to #Andrew Chung where there were locks on the files in Azure and it couldn't delete old function dll files. I was trying to upgrade to .NET core and publish from a different project. Unfortunately, i didn't see his response until it was too late, and had followed #Jerry Liu's advice (#4) to remove the function app and add in a new one. This didn't seem to work for me as until I recreated the app with a different name. I suspect there may be a DNS conflict where xxxx.scm.azurewebsites.net is still pointing to the IP address of your old decommissioned app.
I'm attempting to deploy a .NET 4 web application to a Windows 2008R2 server using Web Deploy V2. As part of this deployment we copy some batch files to the target machine. When I execute the command below, Web Deployment Agent Service (MsDepSvc) stops and a FileNotFoundException is logged to the system Application event log.
The web deploy command:

How can I diagnose this?
We ran into a similar issue. You're best bet is to decompile using ILSpy and add extra logging in every catch block and replace the exe on the client to see the exact error. In our scenario, we used on older version 7.1.1631.0 that works. There's a newer version 7.1.1762.0 that's caused the problem. The exe is copied from the client and not the server.
I had the exact same issue. It turned out to be a bug in Web Deploy 3.5 as described here: Could not find file or assembly Microsoft.Web.Deployment.Tracing with Web Deploy V3 using tempagent
