Answer:

By default, only SSH connections are allowed into Linux VMs deployed in Azure. Because this VM is going to be a web server, you need to open port 80 from the internet. Use the az vm open-port command to open the desired port.

Hi,

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check Apache and MySQL services: Ensure that Apache and MySQL services are running on your Azure VM. You can do this by SSH-ing into your VM and running commands like sudo systemctl status apache2 and sudo systemctl status mysql to check their statuses. If they're not running, start them using sudo systemctl start apache2 and sudo systemctl start mysql.
2. If the website has been stopped and restarted you have to first connect to the website URL from a browser. Once you do that, the instance is running and you can connect to phpMyAdmin. It will launch without a login scree
3. Ensure that PHP is installed and configured properly on your Azure VM. You can check the PHP configuration by creating a PHP file with <?php phpinfo(); ?> and accessing it via a web browser to see if PHP is running correctly.

Kindly check and accept answer , if it helps, Thankyou

Hi Pascal,

Ensure you have the necessary ports open on your Azure VM's Network Security Group (NSG):

Go to the Resource Group > Find the NSG associated to the VM > go to Inbound security rules:

Ensure you have added a rule to allow port 80 and 443 (and any other port you may have configured on the server to allow traffic to the server).

If this is helpful please accept answer.
