Azure api app provisioning failed

Question

I am creating an Azure API APP, VS2013, new project (API APP, preview), installed new azure sdk for vs 2013.

Creation was successful, build just fine. tested the app locally, good. now I right click on project and then click publish as suggested here https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-dotnet-deploy-api-app/ I get the following error in my AzureApp Service Activity window in VS:

Registering the Azure resource provider Creating the Azure resource group HammerHeadResourceGroup Creating the API App HammerHeadApiApp Exception: Deployment failed for /subscriptions/cd0dd0a0-7d5c-4fd5-9c4a-c3a823bf94f4/resourceGroups/HammerHeadResourceGroup/deployments/ema_apiapp_deployment Error in /subscriptions/cd0dd0a0-7d5c-4fd5-9c4a-c3a823bf94f4/resourcegroups/HammerHeadResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/Microsoft-ApiApp9ea2693c4a6148f591cc32cfdb14be1f/siteextensions/Microsoft.ApiApp: none Error in /subscriptions/cd0dd0a0-7d5c-4fd5-9c4a-c3a823bf94f4/resourcegroups/HammerHeadResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/ApiAppDeployment_bd094637090e46749d80a82bf9f9db6d: ResourceDeploymentFailure: The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'. Azure API App provisioning failed

Please advice.

Answer 1

I ran into the same thing publishing from VS. When I went into the Resource Group on the azure portal and clicked deployments I could see the real error message which was "Location 'Central US' is not accepting creation of new Windows Azure SQL Database servers at this time."

Answer 2

Thank You, While I am publishing from VS, I am also creating a Resource group and service app plan, which failed. But then I used the Default resource group and the respective service app, then it worked.
