Deploying ASP.Net Core application to Azure Website using Visual Studio Team Services has an ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE error.

Question

I'm working on deploying an ASP.NET Core application stored in Git on Visual Studio Team Services. I've been following this process ( https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build/apps/aspnet/aspnetcore-to-azure ); however, I receive the following error on the deployment step, and I'm running into a brick wall. I have verified that I have an SSL cert on xxx.com and www.xxx.com, but it still is failing. Any Ideas?

Error Code: ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLEMore Information: Could not connect to the remote computer ("www.xxx.com"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started.

Try adding following script in "PublishAspNet5Website.ps1" to see which is the correct MSDeploy URL:

Write-Output $website.EnabledHostNames[0]
Write-Output $website.EnabledHostNames[1]
Write-Output $website.EnabledHostNames[2]
