Problem Publishing to Azure from Visual Studio 2019 Community v16.7.6

Rich Holopoff 21

I have a free Azure account that I have not published to in over 6 months. Now, when I try to publish an ASP.NET.CORE MVC web app from Visual Basic 2019 Community v16.7.6, and after selecting AZURE and AZURE APP SERVICES as targets, a popup dialog appears containing BACK, NEXT, FINISH and CANCEL buttons and a link captioned "Sign In". The NEXT and FINISH buttons are disabled. I click "Sign In" and enter my credentials plus a security code in the popup window. After signing in the NEXT and FINISH buttons remain disabled. There is no sign in error indicated.

If you log into portal.azure.com does it tell you anything about your account?

@Rich Holopoff , As vb2ae suggested, log into the Azure Portal to see if your Azure subscription is active. If yes, check to see if you're able to publish a test WebApp directly from the Azure Portal (to isolate the issue).

Reactivate a disabled Azure subscription

Kindly ensure all the perquisites are installed/available for publishing to App Service via VS

It would seem that my free trial has expired.

When I go to https://portal.azure.com/ and sign in, there is nothing displayed on the page that explicitly indicates that my free trial has come to an end.

But the fact that a "Start with an Azure free trial" button appears at the top of the page strongly implies that my free trial has run out.

In fact, when I click on the START free trial button, the page that comes up says this:

"Looks like you already have an Azure account The Azure free account is only available to new users and is limited to one per customer"

So, it looks like I need to upgrade to some type of fee-based service. Does that sound right?

Thanks for the help,
Rich

@Rich Holopoff Yes, please upgrade your free trial to a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) subscription. To do so, please follow these steps here. Please note that you will start to incur charges by completing this step.

If you free trial subscription has been disabled, please follow the steps provided by ajkuma-MSFT to reactive a disabled Azure subscription.

I solved my publishing to Azure problem by creating a new Azure App Service by clicking the "+Create a new app service" link in the Publish dialog in Visual Studio.

The problem was totally my fault: I had ignored the "+" link in the Publish dialog thinking that I already had an app service from over six months ago.

So, now my web web site is up and running in Azure.

Once again, thanks for your help

To benefit the community/summarizing the comments discussion.

RichHolopoff-4511 was able to solve the issue by creating a new Azure App Service by clicking the "+Create a new app service" link in the Publish dialog in Visual Studio. Just quoting the comment - " The problem was totally my fault: I had ignored the "+" link in the Publish dialog thinking that I already had an app service from over six months ago."

To double-check if all the perquisites are installed/available for publishing to App Service via VS and also validate the deployment via Azure Portal.

Thanks for sharing an update on this with the community, @Rich Holopoff . Much appreciate your follow-up!
