I was about to deploy WordPress on Microsoft Azure Cloud following this excellent blog:
It all worked very well until step 2/3, when I had to add the CGI Web Role project template. Unfortunately since the new August Azure Toolkit 1.4 this template is not included anymore.
It is not very clear how an alternative approach would solve the lack of that template.
Is here any pro who could help me running PHP on Azure toolkit 1.4 or greater?
Many Thanks

This has been made SUPER EASY with the Windows Azure Websites feature – see http://chriskoenig.net/2012/06/08/windows-azure-web-sites/ for more information on how to get started with a WordPress site on Windows Azure.
Basically what you can do now is use the Application Gallery that’s a part of the Windows Azure Websites feature to automatically provision a Windows Azure Website and a corresponding MYSQL Database, and then deploy your choice of open source application to that website. My sample walks through using WordPress, but there are many others to choose from.
