Unable to update Webapp through Visual studio Code

Question

I recently deployed a Webapp to azure studio and even updated it using deployment source as NONE, without any hitches but now when I try to update the same app I get an unspecified error. I switched to using local git Deployment and got the error:

12:58:47: WARNING: Ignoring deploySubPath "" for non-zip deploy.
12:58:52 ****: Deploying Local Git repository to "****"...
12:58:58: Error: fatal: unable to access 'https://****.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/****.git/': The requested URL returned error: 500

Funny thing is that the portal is unable to detect these deployment failures hence I am not able to trace the error.
How can I solve this?

Answer 1

Thanks for the suggestions, I have solved the problem, my app service file storage was full due to php_error logfile. An error in my first deployment kept logging into the file as long the app was on line hence filled my storage and I was unable to add any more files or updates. Solved it by deleting the log file.

Hi @Ramani-6593,

You can access the deployment logs from Kudu by navigating to https://<you-app-service>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/deployments. The log_url will list the available logs Kudu executes, from generating a build script to running the deployment command.

You can consider doing a full stop of your app service and restarting and ensure that you don't get HTTP 500s when navigating to your scm main page. If you do continue to get 500s, let me know in a comment below so I can work more closely with you. If, however, you're able to navigate; redeploy your app from VS Code as this will delete all source files and recopy your app code.

Regards,
Ryan

launch update with Fiddler running in background - may be it will show more details about the error in addition to generic HTTP 500 internal server error
