After resolving some issues with deployment of my LightSwitch app to Azure, I was able to get the Azure Management Portal to report that everything was up and running fine. However when I try to access the site, I receive:
Server Error
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
This happens regardless of whether I have HTTPS required or not and regardless of the browser used. When this point is reached, no login has been presented and so no credentials have been supplied.
I can't see anything out of the ordinary in Fiddler that would cause this issue.
What should I been looking for to diagnose this problem?
Okay, it turns out that clicking on the site.cloudapp.net link like I used to be able to do causes a 403 Forbidden code. I now need to go to site.cloudapp.net/DesktopClient for some reason and then my site will appear.
Is there a specific reason for this change in behavior? Was there any sort of announcement? Is there any way to change it back to just site.cloudapp.net?
Paths in various files needed to be changed.
In Web.config:
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear/>
<add value="default.htm"/>
</files>
</defaultDocument>
Needs to be:
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear/>
<add value="DesktopClient/default.htm"/>
</files>
</defaultDocument>
In default.htm:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Silverlight.js"></script>
Needs to be:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/DesktopClient/Silverlight.js"></script>
And:
<param name="source" value="Web/ARIS2.DesktopClient.xap"/>
Needs to be:
<param name="source" value="/DesktopClient/Web/ARIS2.DesktopClient.xap"/>
The front most slashes in the last two are important because of this answer.
