Deploying MVC app to Azure App Services Error - subscription is not registered for the resource type

Question

I am trying to public an MVC application to azure from Visual Studio 2015 directly. [Right click project > Publish > To Azure] Every time i try to Publish my web application to my azure account i get the following error:

**The subscription is not registered for the resource type 'components' in the location 'Central US'. Please re-register for this provider in order to have access to this location.**

I have tried to use multiple locations to host the application and the error still continues

Q: How does one register for this component? (i have not included application insights in my application on creation)

Below is more details around the error:

  }
}

When i try find the areas supported using the powershell command:

((Get-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace microsoft.insights).ResourceTypes | Where-Object ResourceTypeName -eq sites).Locations

The result comes back blank.

See Screenshot

Q: What is this microsoft.insights and why is it automatically required but not available?

I really hope somebody can assist me

Answer 1

you can do that with PowerShell or Azure CLI, or you could just deploy the WebApp once using the Portal.

$providers = @(Get-AzureRmResourceProvider -ListAvailable)
foreach ($x in $providers) {

Register-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace $x.ProviderNamespace -Force
write-host $x.ProviderNamespace
}
Write-Host “Done!”

Here's the link to the Azure CLI commands .

Answer 2

I updated to the latest version of Azure Tools and the location problem was resolved. A new error occurred when trying to create a new Azure web app from visual studio

However at least now i can publish to Azure using web deploy
