Can't create webapp - subscription not allowed to create or update the serverfarm

Josh 0

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple webapp that uses container to run, nothing complicated, I even leave most settings as default and during deployment I get:

{
    "status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "Forbidden",
        "message": "The subscription 'XXXXXXXXX' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm.",
        "details": [
            {
                "message": "The subscription 'XXXXXXXXX' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm."
            },
            {
                "code": "Forbidden"
            },
            {}
        ]
    }
}

The message is for resource type Microsoft.Web/serverfarms during deployment and its deployment status is BadGateway

I currently have a free account and don't want to pay 29$ for support just for this. Please help

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I tried all the suggested solution there and nothing worked. I even tried creating in a different resource group and different region but got same error.
