Azure-docs: "You do not have permission to view this directory or page"

[xocolatl-aficionado]

That is what I get when I try to access the 'deployed' app that was deployed via ZipDeploy
(which shows a success message).
:( Console.log("Frustration");

@xocolatl-aficionado Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your feedback! Could you provide more details as to what steps you took, and possibly, share a screenshot of what you're seeing? I've gone through the steps just yesterday as part of #11796 and didn't run into any issues, however, if there's a problem, I'd like to repro and take corrective actions internally.

I deployed the cloned starter node.js app onto /ZipUpload. This showed
a success message as decribed on the website. Then I went to the created
AppSevice and clicked the https link from the portal. This leads to the
blank screen with the permission error that I’ve mentioned.

Hi, exact same problem here. Followed the steps exactly as described in the article. The URL https://helloworldfirstapp.azurewebsites.net/ only returns "You do not have permission to view this directory or page"

@xocolatl-aficionado @jordanmkimball I'll run through the steps on this documentation again tonight and try to identify where it's causing this issue. If either of you have any further details that you're able to share in that effort, please let me know so I can take the issue internally and correct it accordingly.

HI @mike-urnun-msft - Please watch this video. I created a brand new app. When I do upload It says upload succeeded but when I visit the URL it says "You do not have permission to view this directory or page." And this seems to be an error that others have had.

@xocolatl-aficionado @jordanmkimball I've ran through the steps on this documentation again twice today and didn't run into any issues. I believe the confusion is arising from the step where you create a zip file that you later upload to Azure using ZipDeploy. When creating this zip file using command prompt, please make sure you're running the command within the NodeJS application directory so that files get extracted immediately under the wwwroot directory (as shown below) later on:

We will now proceed to close this thread. If there are further questions regarding this matter, please reopen it and we will gladly continue the discussion.

Thank you @mike-urnun-msft . The most important thing is to demo via a video or a gif of how we're zipping the folder. Because the contents of the zip is where the confusion is as we found out when we screenshared
