Kentico 12 MVC with Azure DevOps Pipelines

Nick Kwiecien asked on July 10, 2019 20:59

Hello,

I’m working on Azure DevOps Pipelines for Kentico 12 MVC and when I release to the Azure App Service and restart the App Service I get an error on the MVC site: "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable". When I clear cache on the site through Kentico’s admin the site comes back up but I’ve tried doing that in code on AppStart with no results.

Here are the steps for my MVC Release: 1. Deploy Azure App Service 2. Restart Azure App Service: MVC site 3. Restart Azure App Service: Admin site

I've also tried swapping steps 2 and 3 with no luck.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

We have CI/CD configured for our K12 MVC site (both CM and CD) and haven't run into any issues.

Do you see any issues on the content Delivery app or only with the Management app? Are you using a publish profile for deployment or a build -> zip -> copy?

We are seeing the issue on the content delivery app and we are using the build -> zip -> copy method.

@Nick Kwiechen or anyone did you manage to find a solution to this problem? We are facing the same issue in a Kentico 11 Portal Engine Azure deployment.

@Dimitris Yes we did manage to fix the issue but we had to create a staging slot and deploy to that slot and wait five minutes (you can set a task in devops to wait) and swap the slots.

I reached out to Azure support and this was the best solution they could give to me. The answer they gave me was that the process is actually not fully shutting down after a restart. Which is why we needed to wait 5 minutes. Hope that helps.
