Hi , I have also tried a small test "run.sh", zipped in a folder, which also is giving me "Bad Request", this should have worked as I had deployed a "continuous" webjob ran by run.sh before, around 1 month back, what do you think ?

Hi @An1gupta
Thankyou for Your Response!
You said that your test with a simple run.sh file is also returning a "Bad Request" error, there are a few areas that could be causing this problem, especially since a similar WebJob deployment was successful recently.

File Structure & Zip Format:

Ensure run.sh is at the root of the zip file (no nested folders).

Use a standard ZIP compression method.

File Permissions:

Make sure run.sh has execute permissions (use chmod +x run.sh if needed).

Check Azure Status:

Verify if there are Azure App Service issues on the Azure Status Page.

Kudu Console:

Upload the zip via Kudu Console: https://<your-app-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net.

Restart your Azure App Service if needed.

Rename WebJob:

Avoid name conflicts; try a new name for your WebJob (e.g., add a suffix).

Check Logs:

Review Azure Log Stream or Kudu Diagnostics Logs for specific error messages.

If these don’t solve the issue, check Microsoft's troubleshooting guide.
If you have any further assistances let me know.

Hi @An1gupta ,
welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform!
The "Bad Request" error while trying to upload a zip file for an Azure WebJob due to
Verify Zip File Structure

Ensure the main Python script (e.g., run.py) is at the root level of the zip file.

Include necessary files like requirements.txt.

Check Zip File Size

Ensure the zip file is within Azure's upload size limit.

For large dependencies, consider uploading only your code and installing dependencies separately.

Verify WebJob and Web App Compatibility

Confirm Python is installed on your App Service.

Ensure the WebJob runtime version is compatible with your code.

Check Azure Portal Settings

Choose the correct WebJob type: “triggered” or “continuous”.

If using REST API or CLI, verify endpoint and payload format.

Go to Debug Console > site/wwwroot/App_Data/jobs and upload the zip file to see error messages.

Check Logs for Errors

Review WebJob logs in Log Stream on the Azure portal
Create a Python WebJob on Azure WebJob File Structure
