Can't create an Azure web site - azure

Help! When I try to creat a web site on Azure, I receive the following error message:
There was no endpoint listening at https://geomaster.azurewebsites.windows.net/subscriptions/2762018c-1ace-4b11-a55d-7b69d004cca3/webspaces/eastuswebspace/sites that could accept the message.
I was able to create 2 sites about 3 months ago without any problem. My subscription is an active pay as you go account. I'm not trying to do anything advanced, just a web site connected to a SQL DB. The SQL DB creates without a problem. I was also able to create a virtual Win2008 machine. Azure reps have said my account is fine. I don't know where else to look. Thanks

If your development machine is behind a proxy server, the problem could be caused by the machine's proxy server settings. Have a look at them via Control Panel / Network and Internet / Internet Options / Connections tab / Lan Settings and try checking the box for 'Automatically detect settings' if it isn't.
Solved: Azure Problem - There was no endpoint listening at that could accept the message
Windows Azure Package Deployment Failed with Error - "There was no endpoint listening"

Same for me. Seems they simply do not have enough recourses atm.

Allow remote web server administration of Azure server core VM

I am trying to configure a server code 2016 VM on Azure to allow access from IIS on a remote server (outside of Azure) - I have been following documentation from here and here.
When I try to connect to the Azure servercore server from IIS (File, Connect to a Server, provide server name/port and credentials), I am getting the following error:
"Could not connect to the specified computer.
Details: Unable to connect to the remote server"
I have added the firewall rule as noted in the steps I have been following with no success. I believe that this may be a security group issue, but web searching has drawn a blank - I have not been able to find anything on connecting IIS to a VM on Azure in order to allow web server administration.
Any help would be much appreciated, preferably in simple steps - I'm a programmer who has had a devops task dropped on him, and as such have minimal understanding of Azure's mechanics and terminology!
Thanks!
So the error was due to the misconfigured NSG. Need to open up port 8172.

Web Deploy connection timed out

I've previously had Web Deploy up and running without any issues. Following a company wide installation of Bitdefender, Web Deploy has stopped working. I've tried the following without any success
Added the following rule to Bitdefender firewall
Local Address: Any
Remote Address: our server IP port 8172
Protocol: TCP
Direction: Both
IP: Any
Network: Home / Office
Permission: Allow
Using the following telnet command, telnet [IP address] 8172, I get a blank screen.
Navigating to the URL for the publishing server connection, I'm prompted with a login and then a blank screen.
I don't have Fiddler, or anything similar, running.
I've tried on other machines in our office yet I get the same response.
Re-installed Web Deploy via Web Platform Installer Recommended Server Configuration for Web Hosting Providers and using command prompt I've restarted the agent services with the following commands
net stop msdepsvc & net start msdepsvc
net stop wmsvc & net start wmsvc
I've added IIS Manager Permissions to the appropriate site in IIS, using the server administrator account (which worked in the past) and configured web deploy publishing.
I'm running out of ideas of what to try so I'd appreciate any suggestions.
When attempting to validate the connection in Visual Studio I see the failed notification, "The operation has timed out".
The problem is in the Policies for Content Control. Exceptions need to be added for the sites you would like to web deploy to.
Click on policies, then go to the policy that applies to your development system. In my case this was "IT Policy." If you don't know, you can go to Network and drill down through Active Directory to find what policy applies.
Next, go to Content Control => Traffic. Check the boxes for Web (HTTP traffic) and Traffic Scan exclusions. Then add the URL or IP address for whatever system you are trying to deploy to (We used IP).
Hope that helps!

Remote machine accessing a deployed SSRS report

I have created an SSRS report using the Business Intelligence reporting service of VS 2012 and I have also successfully deployed it on the web service url i.e. http://computer name/ReportServer, the deployment was successful. The main purpose of deployment is to enable the client to access these reports from their machine, and I really do not have much idea on how to proceed with that, what and how do I give permissions to the client and how does the client access the above url in order to view the reports? Please elaborate I was not able to find much online help on this and its my first venture in this domain. Thank you very much in advance!
Open Reporting Services Configuration manager from windows Start
Connect to your Report Server
basically Two ULR tabs are available there
Web Service URL
Report Manger URL
you want to go to Web service URL
assign Some virtual Directory then use that URL for client PCs.
if not work use IP address in place on Computer Name
for credentials use Service Account Tab in this Manager
check Use another account
and what ever domain username is given here will be used for client to log in .
i Had same issue, i jst replaced computer name with deployed server IP address,
http://10.60.0.0/ReportServer

Cannot Connect to Windows Azure VM (Server 2012 R2) Web Deploy Service

I can't seem to be able to deploy a site to a windows server 2012 r2 running IIS and Web Deploy in Azure VM. I have verified that the port is open, the credentials are correct and the site name as well. I tried using http: and https: also tried using msdeploy.axd end point and the MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE one nothing. Check is the services are running and if I can connect to the machine which at can on port 80 to the default site. Tried connecting from multiple connections I get the same result...
Could not connect to the remote computer ("<computer name>.cloudapp.net"). On the remote computer make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") is started. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE. Unable to connect to the remote server.
After dealing with this for about an hour now, I figured out how to fix this on my Azure Virtual Machine.
First the obvious
Check that port 8172 (if you're using default settings) is open in your firewall
Check that the processes MsDepSvc and WMSVC are running.
Check that the site name is correct.
Management Service
In ISS, at the root level of the server, check your settings under Management Service.
It should have Enable Remote Connections checked:
Did you download the full package
This was the one that got me, I hadn't installed everything.
On the bottom of the WebDeploy page: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy
You can download the full package, and then just install everything.
You don't mention if you have an endpoint configured for your Azure VM. If not, make sure you create an endpoint with a private port of 8172.
EDIT: Here is a troubleshooting guide for web deploy that includes the error message you've encountered. Additionally, from my own experience I have managed to mistype the site name and not install .NET and seeing similar errors.
Helpful but in the end in our case it was TLS mismatch. Check both machines can do TLS 1.2 if you are forcing it. Have put more detail here https://fuseit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000328595. Cheers

Sharepoint application not working!

I am facing a weird problem and no body seems to have a solution for it.
The thing is that i am working on a Sharepoint application. It was working fine until our organization underwent a network maintenance.
The next day i try to run my application and kaboom!! it throws me an error
A network-related or instance-specific
error occurred while establishing a
connection to SQL Server. The server
was not found or was not accessible.
Verify that the instance name is
correct and that SQL Server is
configured to allow remote
connections. (provider: Named Pipes
Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL Server)
I later found out that during the maintenance the IP of my machine has changed.
It is possible that the change of an IP could result in my sharepoint application not working!!
I did my research and found that nothing has been changed in my application and that the SQL server (which is on my machine itself) is working fine! And still my application is DEAD!!
Please help, any suggestions will be helpful!
thank you.
DON'T PANIC!
The error message is pretty clear and it's not related to Sharepoint. Your web application can no longer connect to the database.
Perhaps you have configured Windows Firewall (or another firewall) to allow connections to the database using your old IP. Maybe you haven't enabled Named Pipes or you have hard-coded the old IP address in your hosts file. Or maybe your web application's account can no longer connect to the database. Changing a server's IP is no small change so maybe someone did a few more modifications as well.
If you can connect to your Central Administration site the problem is probably related to the Web Application's account. If you can't connect to Central Admin, the problem is related to the database connection.
To check the connection try to connect to the database using the exact same credentials (Provider Name, account, password etc.). You can do this either by using the Options tab of the SQL Server Management Studio connection dialog, or by writing a small program yourself to test the connection to the database.
