Question

I’m trying to deploy a mostly empty asp.net webforms app (with a custom httpmodule specified in web.config) to Azure and getting the following error:

Configuration Error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a
configuration file required to service this request. Please review the
specific error details below and modify your configuration file
appropriately.

Parser Error Message: An error occurred loading a configuration file:
Access to the path
‘D:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\xqhbvcov.tmp’ is
denied.

Source Error:

[No relevant source lines]

Source File:
D:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
Line: 0

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319;
ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.276

Any ideas? I’m not sure what other information may be pertinent so if I’m missing something vital please ask and I’ll supply it.

Entire web.config

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
    <!--<httpModules>
      <add name="AbcdModule" type="org.abcd.abcdHttpModule"/>
    </httpModules>-->
  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <modules>
      <add name="AbcdModule" type="org.abcd.abcdHttpModule"/>
    </modules>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Answer 1

I had discussion with Windows Azure Websites team and found that custom HTTP Modules are supported with Windows Azure Websites so they should work and problem could occur depend on how complex the registration is.

For the sake of testing, I use the link below to create a custom HTTP Module and tested it in Azure Website which worked without any issue:

If you can provide more info about your custom HTTP Module (which seems to be part of org.abcd namspace and anything else) we sure can help. Alternatively you can submit the request at Azure Websites Forum, someone can help you directly.
