How to fix "You do not have permission to view this directory or page." in Azure web app services

Question

I deployed my react app from a package file.

When I access the site from the default domain, I get this error "You do not have permission to view this directory or page."

I have accessed the kudu debug console, and these are the event logs that could help trace where the issue could be.

<Data>Failed to open siteversion.txt. ZipFS setup failed. Error: 0x80070003</Data>

<Data>Failed to copy zip from remote source.</Data>

<Data>Adding virtual directory from failure zip file \?\d:\local\SitePackages\89377609.zip</Data>

<Data>Failed to open zip file . Error: 0x80070003</Data>

<Data>AddVirtualWin32ZipDirectory failed. ZipFS setup failed. Error: 0x80070003</Data>

<Data>Adding virtual directory from failure zip file \?\d:\local\SitePackages\89383531.zip</Data>

<Data>Failed to open siteversion.txt. ZipFS setup failed. Error: 0x80070002</Data> This last error has been repeated 5 times towards the end of the event log.

When I open the wwwroot folder, all the files and folders seem to have been mounted correct,

Can anyone help me fix this?

Hi, you might have deployed the solution as a ZIP file but not extracted it. If you want to run the web app as a ZIP file, you can go to the Azure Web App settings and go to:

1. Go to "Settings"
2. Go to "Environment Variables"
3. Add in a key called "WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE" and value set as "1".
4. Save the changes.
5. Restart the web app.

Hopefully this helps.
