unable to access my webapp

Question

i have created a node app using azure web app and deployed it but im unable to access it
i can see deployment logs that deployment is success that npm install and build are working fine.
i can see from the kudu logs that npm start is working fine. it says application is running successfully.
since my app is running on port 3000, i have created a WEBSITES_PORT key in application settings and set is value as 3000.

but im still unable to access my app

im getting "Application error - If you are the application administrator, you can access the diagnostic resources."

Also when i git clone my app inside a VM and open the port 3000 using the internal firewall and open the port in inbound rules its working fine.

can someone help me please

@Rohan Panda , Thanks for posting this good question and closing the thread by sharing the solution that worked for you.

To benefit the community, I have re-opened the thread to share the solution you posted "I added a key called PORT in application setting and set it to value 3000 and the app is now working".

Just adding this document: Yes, the recommendation is to use app setting WEBSITES_PORT to set the port for your own docker image while for blessed images use PORT environment variable as the listening port.
