Running in Azure

[JustAN00b]

I’m an azure n00b. I’ve created a dashboard locally and I’m trying to get it out into an Azure Web App. I’ve followed the instructions here and right now just using the example dashboard.ps1 and am getting " HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure" error. I selected Windows with asp.net 4.7 for my instance…Anyone seen this before?

Thanks in advance

Can you post the web.config and dashboard.ps1 you are trying to host?

[JustAN00b]

So I tried the original web.config that is in the module, and I also tried the web.config from my IIS installation I use UD for on another project. The difference I notice is that on IIS the following line points to <aspNetCore processPath=".\net472\universaldashboard.server.exe" whereas the default web.config processpath points to powershell.exe.

Here is the web.config included in the module installation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <!--
    Configure your application settings in appsettings.json. Learn more at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=786380
  -->
  <system.webServer>
    <security>
      <!-- <requestFiltering removeServerHeader ="true" /> -->
    </security>
    <handlers>
      <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
    </handlers>
    <aspNetCore processPath="PowerShell.exe" arguments="" stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile="\\?\%home%\LogFiles\stdout" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false" />
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <remove name="X-Powered-By" />
      </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>  
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Currently, I’m just using the sample dashboard.ps1 file from the documentation.

Start-UDDashboard -Wait -Dashboard (
    New-UDDashboard -Title "Hello, Azure" -Content {
        New-UDCard -Title "Hello, Azure"
    }
)

In the web.config, try changing the arguments to: -File .\dashboard.ps1

Unfortunately did not work after a restart of the app. Here is what I have for that line just to double-check

<aspNetCore processPath="powershell.exe" arguments="-File .\dashboard.ps1" stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile="\\?\%home%\LogFiles\stdout" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false" />

Here’s the web.config I’m using for https://universaldashboard-dev.azurewebsites.net/ It looks like I don’t actually have the .\ in there.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <!--
    Configure your application settings in appsettings.json. Learn more at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=786380
  -->
  <system.webServer>
    <security>
      <!-- <requestFiltering removeServerHeader ="true" /> -->
    </security>
    <handlers>
      <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
    </handlers>
    <aspNetCore processPath="PowerShell.exe" arguments="-File dashboard.ps1"  />
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <remove name="X-Powered-By" />
      </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>  
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

The other thing is that I’m importing the module at the top of my script.

Import-Module "$PSScriptRoot\UniversalDashboard.Community.psd1" 
$Dashboard = . "$PSScriptRoot\poshud\dashboard.ps1"
Start-UDDashboard -Wait -Dashboard $Dashboard

That didn’t work either It has to be something with my instance then…Does this all look ok?

[adam]

Here’s mine.

You’re deploying the whole module to the directory right? This is what the site’s files look like.

[JustAN00b]

Yes, I am deploying the whole module. I’ll try changing my instance to your settings.

[adam]

Hmmm yeah that looks good. Maybe it’s cuz of the .NET Core setting. Might need to update the docs…

[JustAN00b]

Stil didn’t work. I’m gonna try and start over with a new web app using your settings from the start.

[JustAN00b]

.net core 3.0?

[adam]

It’s 2.1

I got it…finally. Looking at the stdout logs I could see it wasn’t loading the module correctly. It was looking for the community module…once I fixed that it loaded. Thanks for the help!
