Enable detailed Error in WebAPI Azure App Services

 Hey Guys !!

Today we faced an issue in one of our Web API hosted in Azure as PaaS (Web App Services). We were not getting detailed error message , we were just getting message as  "Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error"





To overcome this issue, we were in need to know the exact reason of issue, as because by default we can not get the detailed error message on web page.

So, we did some changes in our web.config file.
We just opened the web.config file from https://ourappiXYZ.scm.azurewebsites.net/
To open the web.config file, we logged in with scm and clicked on "Debug Console" >> "CMD", as per below screen shot

Then, we clicked on site folder and then "wwwroot" folder, and then edit the web.config file.

In web.confif file, we added 
<customErrors mode="Off" /> , inside  the   <system.web>


  <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off" />
  </system.web>

and then we added <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" /> inside <system.webServer>,

 <system.webServer>
    <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
  </system.webServer>




So , as consolidated ,we had to do the following tags as ..
  <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off" />
  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
  </system.webServer>


After doing these chnages, we were able to get the exact error on web page and were able to do fix the issue.

We undo/rollbacked the changes, once we fixed the issue.

Resource Manager Template Deployment

 Hey Guys !! Today I created a number of resources in my Azure subscription. As I was creating the KeyVaults , I realized that this was a time spending exercise for me, because I was in need to have 6 KeyVaults, and each KeyVault there were around 5 secrets. And for each KeyVault I would have to assign the required permissions. These permission were with Users of AD, Objects of Deployments (Service Principal cretead in Azure Devops), and the Azure App Services by which these Key Vaults were need to be access.

I thought that , we should mention it some where, so I though to create blogs. I just went to blogspot and thought , what should be the name of my blog. As now a days , I am workking on Azure stuff, so I thought lets start it from Azure it self, and created blog with name "AzureNDevops". In our technical life , whenever we got stuck we always go to google and tried to resolved that issue, but there are a number of situations in which even google does not work for your case, and you have to resolve it by own. And when we resolve it , we got some happiness and proudness some where in our self. This happiness becomes double and even more when you share it with some one. I am starting my blog to share the stories with World,...
