Migrating MVC project from local to Azure - SQL Server troubles

Question

I am trying to publish my site to the web using Azure and Visual Studio. Previous to this I've been developing on my local machine using a local DB. I've been using Entity Framework and the code first model.

I followed this tutorial to try and set up my site. The site works and I can access it through the *.azurewebsites.net domain.

My problem is that whenever I do anything relating to database access such as signing up for an account, the site gives me a blank 404 page. I'm watching the database and the tables aren't being created as they do normally with Entity Framework. I don't care about losing the local database data - it's all just test stuff.

In my project I have a file called MySiteName - Web Deploy.pubxml which contains the correct connection string.

I can connect to the Azure SQL Server from SSMS on my local machine so there isn't any problem there.

How should I go about troubleshooting this? I'm completely new to Azure so I don't have any idea where to start.
