Getting error after pushing to Windows Azure: You do not have permission to view this directory or page

Question

I have googled for the past 3 hours and found nothing on what to do with respect to the windows azure problem:

You do not have permission to view this directory or page.

I did a git master push to azure and the deployment was successful. I also turned on the failed request tracing but nothing shows up but the above statement.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Answer 1

I just tested that if you don't deploy your main node.js file as server.js you will get this error because the web.config is specifically looking for server.js as below:

  <handlers>        <add name="iisnode" path="server.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode"/>  </handlers> 

To further troubleshot this issue you can access the website over FTP as described here.

AvkashChauhan's answer did lead me in the right direction but I also had to add proper rewriting rules. Here is my complete web.config

<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration>   <system.web>     <compilation batch="false" />   </system.web>   <system.webServer>     <handlers>       <add name="iisnode" path="server.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" />     </handlers>     <rewrite>       <rules>         <rule name="myapp">           <match url="/*" />           <action type="Rewrite" url="server.js" />         </rule>       </rules>     </rewrite>   </system.webServer> </configuration>
