Chau Cao asked on December 30, 2014 07:42

Hello, I am moving a client's website to azure. It's Kentico 7 website. It's showing me an error:

The object code name '' is not valid. The code name can contain only alphanumeric characters, some special characters (_, -, .) and cannot start or end with '.'.

Stacked Trace:

[CodeNameNotValidException: The object code name '' is not valid. The code name can contain only alphanumeric characters, some special characters (_, -, .) and cannot start or end with '.'.

When you say it's running on Azure, is it a SQL Azure database or a standard SQL database? It is on a VM or Cloud Services? Did it run before you migrated it? What was your publish/upgrade procedure?

Hello, It's a Cloud Services. We set up an Azure Website. It's running well on our local server It's a SQL Azure Database.

We followed this document http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/7_0/KenticoCMS_AzureGuide.pdf, "Deploying an existing website to Windows Azure"

Does the event log have any other error information? Line number? Class name? There's a good chance the data got messed up during the conversion, happened to me a few times.

Hello Chau,

Have you tried to reboot the instance from Azure Portal (Cloud Services -> your service -> Instances -> Reboot)?

As Brenden mentioned, it is possible there was some data inconsistency created during the start of the application, especially if you say it works when your local project is connected to the database.

Hello Chau,

Thank you for the update.

Anyway, has rebooting the Cloud Service/restarting the application pool on your local server helped you get rid of the problem?
