Publish MVC Web App to Azure using VSTS

Question

I am learning CI/CD using VSTS and Azure for my MVC Web App. The build is successful, the deployment (to a specific slot in Azure) is successful, but when I navigate to the web app URL I'm still presented with the default home page.

If I look at the Web App debug console in Kudu, I can see all of my content has been deployed:

D:\home\site\wwwroot> 

Answer 1

The reason the home page related to JAVA is that there is webapps folder in wwwroot folder and you specify the Java Version in Application Settings page, more information, you can check There's nothing here yet after deploying Java Web App on Azure thread.

So, you need to remove this folder and turn off Java version.

Regarding java web job, you don't need to specify Java Version in Application Settings, you can create batch file and set Path environment variable, then call java command, for example (include package folders into zip file, and specify the full name of main class):

set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%/bin
java [package].[main class name]
