如何在Windows Azure Web App上发布的asp.net网站中访问Web服务

Question

I am building a C# web service. It works fine in Visual Studio 2013. I deployed it on IIS in a Windows Azure VM, and this also works fine. This web service is basically used for getting data such as event logs and start/stop service lists from the remote machine. I am consuming this web service in another ASP.NET web site as a Web Reference. This client web site accesses the data from the web service perfectly when debugging locally in Visual Studio.

Now I want to deploy the client web site to another VM on the same live domain which uses the web service in Windows Azure Web Apps. When I do this, it gives the following error:

An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions 127.0.0.1:8080

Is there a way that I can access a web service which is deployed on a domain joined machine in a Windows Azure Web Apps site?

Please help me and give me any suggestions to resolve this error.

Thanks

Answer 1

I notice that the port that you have listed is 8080 . I strongly suspect that port will be blocked by default on the VM firewall. Assuming it's a VM, you should be able to open that up in the Windows Firewall.

Alternatively, move the application to be deployed on port 80 instead, as this will be open by default.
