Running coreWCF in Azure App Service

Question

Running coreWCF in Azure App Service

Anita A 75

Hello,

I am having issues with deploying coreWCF to Azure App Service, is is possible at all to run it in App Services? If so, can you please provide some documentation?

Thanks!

You can edit the question to describe clearly what are the issues. CoreWCF apps are just .NET Core apps, so running them on Azure App Service should just work like others.

How does your app relate to ASP.NET Core you tagged?

@SurferOnWww I wanted to tag it that is .NET related, is there a more appropriate tag?

Hi JasonPan - MSFT, thanks for the answer, yeah I did just that but the app service container would not start I got: Azure: Docker App Error “…site did not start within expected time limit”
I tried deployment with both Linux and Windows App Service.

But if you are saying that this should work I will try few more times.

Dear @Anita A,

Just follow my steps to create the wcf project and deploy it. If you are using the asp.net core empty template, it will always failed. If you still have the issue, please let me know.

Best Regards

Hi, JasonPan - MSFT thank you, it finally works (probably it had worked before as well but the "page can’t be found" when opening the app service url indicates that the page is down and causes confusion).

Can you please clarify this things for me:

Can the coreWCF be deployed to Linux App Service?

When deployed to App Service does the coreWCF run on IIS or Kestrel?

Thanks so much!

Can you please provide info why deployment on Linux App Service does not work? "Container <container-name> for site <site-name> did not start within expected time limit. Elapsed time = 230.9697425 sec
