How to fix failed deployment of WordPress App Service with error code "ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion"

Question

I am working with a web developer who currently hosts a demo website on WordPress. We're attempting to point it to my restricted ".cpa" domain and host it using Azure services. When creating the WordPress on App Services, we created a couple of resource groups. The first one was using "West US 2" region and it was returning an error that it couldn't be created. We then created another resource group using "East US 2" region and that seemed to be created. However, deployment was giving us the "ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion" error.

We upgraded our Azure subscription to include what we thought would support our virtual network, quota, and region requirements for this resource, but I'm unsure how to validate this.

In attempting to redeploy, we're being asked to create a "Custom deployment" and I'm noticing that both the "Region" and the "Location" are different now. Could this be causing the issue?

Hi @Mourgan Reed-Cintron ,

WordPress on Azure App Service is exclusively Linux-based and does not support Windows-based hosting.

If the subscription, App Service Plan, or regional settings are configured for Windows-based hosting, this could be one of the reasons for getting the "ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion" error.

• If your WordPress App Service is in East US 2 but your VNET is in West US 2, this can cause issues App Service and VNET must be in the same region for integration to work.
• You are using a restricted .cpa domain, you cannot use the Free plan. Select either Standard or Premium because Basic plan supports custom domains but does not include high availability and scaling.
• Premium plan (P1V3) is the best because it supports VNET integration, high performance, and database scaling.

Hope it helps!
