Hi Development CEC,

PHP 8.2 might not yet be fully supported by the default runtime stacks on Azure, so it's important to check your app settings and consider testing with a supported version like PHP 8.0 or 8.1, while also ensuring that you've selected the correct branch and included all necessary files in your repository, that Azure has the proper OAuth permissions to access your repo (especially if it's private), and that any CI/CD configurations or GitHub Actions are correctly set up with all required environment variables—more detailed guidance can be found in the official Azure documentation on continuous deployment with GitHub at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-continuous-deployment.

If you have any further assistant, do let me know.

Hi @Siva Nair ,

Thank you for your response but I have been using PHP 8.2 in Azure since an year now and up until now, had no problems with it. I have taken a git branch from my same repo which i have been using. I followed the same steps for the current deployment (i am facing issue with) that i did to deploy my previous deployments. The only I have changed is the location of the web app i am trying to connect my git branch to.

All the solutions that i have seen are pointing after my github repo branch is connected to the web app. My whole issue is that i am not able to connect my branch to the web app. I have tried connecting it to the free web app with app service plan as well as the paid app service plan but the issue remained the same

How do I check if there are any OAuth permissions in the deployment?

Hi Development CEC

Noted, Since you’ve been successfully using PHP 8.2 and the branch has worked before, the error likely points to an issue with the OAuth permissions or configuration for this new web app instance. To check if the OAuth permissions are set up correctly, log into your GitHub account and navigate to your profile settings. Under “Applications” and then “Authorized OAuth Apps,” look for the entry related to Azure (often labeled as “Azure App Service” or similar) to ensure that it has the proper permissions. On the Azure side, open your web app in the Azure Portal and go to the Deployment Center; check for any error messages or configuration prompts that mention OAuth or token issues. If you see any discrepancies or suspect an issue, you might consider revoking the Azure app’s access from GitHub and then reconnecting it via the Deployment Center to refresh the OAuth permissions
