Invalid Web.Config Caused Failure To Deploy ASP.NET App To Windows Azure: “All role instances have stopped”, “Busy”, “Aborted”, “Recovering role…”, “Preparing node…”
Improper configuration settings in web.config caused failure to deploy and start Windows Azure role and instance. This is what I observed via Windows Azure Management portal with changing statuses as depicted below: In Visual Studio I observed the following statuses: After trying to figure out for several hours what’s going on I opened service ticket and the result was this: Exception:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800700B7): Filename: \?E:approot_WASR_web.config Line number: 42 Error: Config section ‘system.web/authentication’ already defined
