Azure Django deployment failure

Question

I am trying to deploy a Django web app to Azure app service. I have set up the continuous deployment with a Github repo for the project.

The project is functuioning locally. The deployment is failing with the following logs:

Command: deploy.cmd
Handling python deployment.
KuduSync.NET from: 'D:\home\site\repository' to: 'D:\home\site\wwwroot'
Copying file: 'web.2.7.config'
Detected requirements.txt.
Creating  virtual environment.
The system cannot find the path specified.
An error has occurred during web site deployment.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.\r\nThe system cannot find the path specified.\r\nD:\Program Files(x86)\SiteExtensions\Kudu\61.60316.2745\bin\Scripts\starter.cmd deploy.cmd

I have included the following deployment files at the project root level:

.deployment, 
deploy.cmd, 
ptvs_virtualenv_proxy.py, 
requiremnts.txt, 
web.2.7.config

I tried deploying the project from a local git repo. Which returned the following logs:

git push azure

Is this resulting from the deployment not finding the deploy.cmd file? Or are the deployment files imporperly configured?

Any pointers on how to go about solving this issue.

Answer 1

According to your description & error information, per my experience, I think this issue might be caused by some required python packages in the requirements.txt which not be directly supported on Azure App Service, that the reason as below.

Some packages may not install using pip when run on Azure. It may simply be that the package is not available on the Python Package Index. It could be that a compiler is required (a compiler is not available on the machine running the web app in Azure App Service).

Please see the details about Troubleshooting - Package Installation to know how to resolve it manually.

Meanwhile, I discovered another possible issue of yours. The web.2.7.config file is a web.config template file for Python 2.7. If your project didn't include the web.config file, please copy web.2.7.config and rename web.config , then follow the section Web.config of the same document above to check & configure the deployment to make it works.
