Windows Azure 'Design Your SQL Database' link not working - azure

I'm following the example in chapter 13 of Adam Freeman's book Pro ASP.NET MVC5 where he uploads the sample application to the Windows Azure cloud. In the example he show that the database is set up by clicking the 'Design Your SQL Database' link in the 'Connect To Your Database' section.
When I click this link, the spinning wheel is activated to show that the click has been registered, but then nothing happens. This is the first time that I've used Azure and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas why the link doesn't work. I have Silverlight 5 installed and the I've followed the tutorial to the letter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was having this problem using Chrome, and spent hours trying to find a solution.
I finally tried using IE instead, and was prompted to allow popups. Once I selected "always allow" the database form displayed as shown in the book.

Azure DevOps 2020 on-premises Renaming a Wiki

we have the Azure DevOps Server 2020 on-premises. We have a couple a Wiki pages in a project but not many, about 10, with totally about 1000 lines of text.
When I try to rename a Wiki page, it tells "Loading broken wiki page links" which never ends. So it is not possible to rename a Wiki page actually.
On the dialog there is a checkbox for "Update affected links..." which is checked but also greyed out, so that it cannot be disabled.
Anybody knows how to cure that?
Thanks in advance.
Solved this issue by uninstalling the Wiki Search extension, as mentioned in the issue report.
Note: I wanted to include a link to the extension in the Marketplace, but I cannot find it there. I can only include a screenshot of the page that was shown by our server before I uninstalled it. Strange, as it's developed by Microsoft and last update was recent (see screenshot).

How to delete Azure Application Insights Troubleshooting guides

I'm using troubleshooting guides (same functionality as workbooks) in Azure Application Insights to visualize some data. However I now wish to delete a certain troubleshooting guide. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. There is no button to be found anywhere just as there is no documentation to be found on this issue.
Does anyone know how to delete a troubleshooting guide?
A screenshot of the screen I'm stuck on:
Go to your Troubleshooting Guids Gallery, click the Open, then it will show all your REPORTS. Then click the three dots symbol on the right of the specific REPORT you want to delete, it will show Delete option .

Quick-look feature to see build progress in MDriven

If I want to have a quick look at the results on the website in my work in MDriven, is there perhaps an easy shortcut for me to do that, or else, is the link displayed somewhere in a menu so I can copy it?
I'm using the turnkey package.
Thanks a lot.
To get your site runnning in the cloud you can use a Sample site. The sample site is requested and is yours for 1 hour.
You will find a "request Demo site" button under https://portal.mdriven.net MyTurnkeySites.
Once you have the demo site you will find it under the cloud icon in MDriven Designer -> upload and you are done

SSRS DataSource Windows Authentication fails

I have a project which uses SharePoint lists as data sources to create the reports. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 for this.
I have this real annoying issue at this moment, ie. when I want to edit a dataset I created a while ago and I press 'Query Designer...' in the dataset properties to see all fields from my list I get an error which says that I am unauthorized.
My DataSource is configured to link to the SharePoint Site Url with Windows Credentials. I have also tried this out for multiple datasets on multiple reports but the error is everywhere.
Because of this I'm also not able to run my reports. They just say "An error occurred during local report processing.".
I have been working on this project since March and this is the first time this has occurred so I have no idea what might have gone wrong nor how to solve it.
Does anyone know what might cause this error and how to solve it please?
If you have any questions or remarks about my question/problem, please, don't hesitate to leave a comment.
Kind regards
EDIT 1:
I have just tried deploying a report that I finished last week and for the first time I got a prompt that asked for my credentials. I haven't even put my credentials anywhere in the project for past authorisation so I have no idea why the project would suddenly need it now...
EDIT 2:
I have just tried changing the DataSource credentials to my own login for the SharePoint Site. If I run the report I get the same error as before but when I go to Query Designer for one of the datasets I get following error:
EDIT 3:
I just restored a back-up I made a couple of weeks ago. I can now run my reports but I still get the Unauthorized error when I try to open a dataset's query designer and the prompt for my credentials when I try to deploy a report.
So, the solution has been found!
Apparently something has gone wrong with my PC and I had to reconfigure my user accounts.
To do this go to Control Panel -> User Accounts
Then click on 'Manage User Accounts'. Go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on 'Manage Passwords'
Next, go to 'Windows Credentials' and change the credentials for your site or recreate them.

SharePoint Foundation on Windows 7 Home Premium

I've installed SharePoint Foundation on Windows 7 Home Premium using the tutorial at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28office.14%29.aspx#50
Everything went well except for the last step when I actually try to load either the site or Central Administration. Instead of a Foundation website, only a blank page appears.
I tried without success the suggested solution to change IIS -> Authentication -> Basic Authentication to Enabled.
After this change it was necessary to enter a username and password when trying to access a Foundation site. Unfortunately, after entering correct data a "Server Not Found" message appeared and I was not able to proceed.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time,
Ben
1st step of troubleshooting this is to take SharePoint out of the equation. Setup a new web application in IIS, put in a simple 'hello world' type static html page and try and load that. If you can't then the problem is IIS/networking and not SharePoint.
For what it's worth, I've found a way to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium and solve the Windows Authentication issue (you CAN actually enable it on Home Premium as well - it's just a manual process, that's all).
You can find the steps I followed on my blog at http://www.rl-soft.com/en/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=21
Hope this helps a few folks!
