Why can't Web Publish/Deploy Find my Web.config? - visual-studio-2012

I've just clone OrchardCMS from codeplex, built it and tried to deploy it to my web hosting service using Visual Studio's 'Publish' command.
No files get published and the publish fails with the following error:
1>------ Publish started: Project: Orchard.Web, Configuration: Release Any CPU ------
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(2352,5): Error : Could not open Source file: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\Tim\targetsite.co.uk\src\Orchard.Web\Media\web.config;Media\web.config'.
1>
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 5 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
I've checked the source code, and the file is there and in the correct folder. So what's this error message actually trying to tell me? What's going on here and how do I fix it?

This is a bug. It's already been reported and is being addressed now:

The second report proposes a workaround that might help you out till this get fixed.

Azure function failed to deploy with the error ERROR_CONNECTION_TERMINATED

Issue Description
I am trying to deploy the azure function using visual studio and getting the error: Web deployment task failed (Complete error logs are given below).
I have followed all the steps mentioned in the article http://techgenix.com/video-publish-azure-functions-azure-using-visual-studio-tools-azure-functions/ but still facing the issue.
Please help me as I have spent a lot of time on this issue and didn't get any solution.

Hololens Emulator app zzz

I have been following several tutorials from Microsoft on the Hololens, from the real basic 100 ( creating a Cube ) to the 101E.
However when deploying to the Hololens it doesn't troughs a error, all succeed, but when starting the App it shows a white screen and then zzz with a Moon "emoticon".
The only error i'm getting is the one attached. However developer license is active. And i also renewed it, but is that related? Don't know.

There are several scenarios which produce this error. Here are a few ways, from my expetience, that may solve this issue:
In the Package.appxmanifest, find the line specifying TargetDeviceFamily and change Name="Windows.Universal" to Name="Windows.Holographic" and MaxVersionTested="10.0.10240.0" to MaxVersionTested="10.0.10586.0".
Go to the device portal and shutdown the instance of the app if it is running.
Try uninstalling the app from the emulator before installing it.
The hololens can be quite tedious to work with at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is a wonderful technology!

Unable to publish node.js app from VS2015 using VS publish

I’ve got a node.js project which I’m using to publish to Azure. This worked fine the first couple of times I’ve published, but now when I try and publish it just fails with no error message. The output in the Azure Service Activity window in VS2015 is simply:
Auto ConnectionString Transformed Web.config into obj\Release\CSAutoParameterize\transformed\Web.config.
Copying all files to temporary location below for package/publish:
obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp.
And the output from the ouput/build window is:
------ Publish started: Project: node, Configuration: Release Any CPU ------
Auto ConnectionString Transformed Web.config into obj\Release\CSAutoParameterize\transformed\Web.config.
Copying all files to temporary location below for package/publish:
obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
I don’t really know where to start diagnosing this as there is no error message per se.
Things I’ve tried thus far:
Full Clean and/or rebuild
Deleted all folders from the BIN directory
Deleted all folders from the obj directory
Tried both debug and release configurations
Deleting the publish profile from VS and re-adding it from scratch
None of the above has made any difference
Has anyone seen this issue before or could suggest where to start diagnosing the cause?
Thanks
Do you happen to have GhostDoc installed?
Uninstalling it fixed it for me after seeing this issue.
I had the same issue, and it was due to file paths getting long more than the allowed number of characters. use this module to make your file paths shorter, and it will fix this issue

Just trying to publish a mvc 6 default template (web api) project to azure (importing publishing profile from the publishing wizard, info is correct but on preview or publish I receive :
ERROR_COULD_NOT_FIND_APPROOT_FOLDER
searching for the error on google gives me 0 results.

Not sure where to look. My project.json does have the appropiate webroot : wwwroot (as I said, no modification to the web site project)
It works locally, of course.

The answer is to create a bootstrap csproj for your web role, that does nothing. This will be the DLL that gets locked by WaIISHost.
Then create the real web projects as separate sites using the option in the csdef file. Once you've done this, you can deploy any of your sites using web deploy and they will work, as long as they have no reference to your bootstrap dll (since they won't copy that file)
