Question

I used the Azure training kit command

New-Deployment 
    -serviceName <YOUR_SERVICE_NAME_LOWER_CASE> 
    -subscriptionId <YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID> 
    -certificate (get-item cert:\CurrentUser\MY\<YOUR_CERTIFICATE_THUMBPRINT>) 
    -slot staging 
    –package <PACKAGE_LOCATION> 
    -configuration <CONFIGURATION_LOCATION>  
    -label "v2.0" 
    –storageServiceName <YOUR_STORAGE_SERVICE_NAME_LOWER_CASE>

to deploy my Azure app. It was able to upload package to the blob but when Create a new deployment it shows error as:

New-Deployment : Cannot access a closed Stream.
At line:1 char:15

Answer 1

Do you have a local proxy (e.g. Fiddler) running? If so, you’ll need to disable it.

Also, check the certificate is installed properly and in the right place: follow, to the letter, the instructions here:

in particular noting there are no line breaks or spaces in the path for (get-Item cert:\CurrentUser\MY\XXXXX).
