    Hello,

    I've been activly deploying changes to my Azure Website for a couple of days, has worked great. I've used both Git and WebDeploy.

    However, now all of a sudden it appears as if changes does not get picked up. The correct files are on the server (checked FTP) and I see a valid "Active deployment" on the Azure portal.

    But I can't see the changes (added an "X" to string in the markup of _Layout.chtml to detect it).

    Any ideas here? As I said it has worked fine up til now.

    Hi Wecode,

    Do you have some type of page output caching in your WebApp? If so, it could be the cause if this behaviour you described.

    Cheers, Carlos Sardo

    It has happend again. Deployment seams to work, has worked numerous times today. Now, all of a sudden, the site wont update. Guessing it will start working again soon just as it did yeaterday. I would really like some kind of error message on my WebDeploy...

    @Carlos, no I do not have any output caching.

    Hi, I bet on caching too, can you try clean up the browser caching or access the website from a computer that has never accessed the site before?

    Aaaand we're back. It works now, without any new re-deployment.

    However it appears as it is not a caching-issue (at least not on my side), i got the same erroneous page when visiting from my phone (in a never used browser).

    I have same issue. I am deploying plain HTML and while files are on Azure, site is not updated. I tried to clean browser cache, open site from mobile and different browsers, but without any result. It seems that Azure is caching something. I have deployed some changes 6 hours ago and those are still not visible.

    I appear to be having the same problem today. Did you ever figure out how to force Azure to accept the new updates?

    Same issue for me - I couldn't find any way to force it to reload a DLL *or* static content (razor templates). I've had a similar issue before, but then at least templates were refreshed. Any hints?

    We are experiencing something similar with a php Azure website. Site has been previously working correctly with GIT deployment.

    Now, updating from GIT after a couple of weeks initial deployment, files confirmed to be updated by FTP.

    Old files still being served from Azure, despite browser cache clearing and testing on a mobile devices browser that used 3g and had never been to the site.

    The previous occasion this occurred, stopping and restarting the website fixed the problem - that's not working this time.

    When the site is stopped, nothing at all is served out, so the caching is turned off with the instance.

    However, when the instance is restarted, the old content is once again displayed.

    It's been twelve hours now, and the old site is still being served up.

    Anyone with any suggestions to resolve this?

    Same problem here. Web Deploy says it updated the file. I even upload via ftp and check and the file is on the azure server. The site is not being updated. Any solution yet? I find it amazing that this problem still has not been fixed and it is 9/5.

    Same problem here. Explicitly stopping and then re-starting the website fixed the problem. The "Restart" feature from the management portal did not solve the issue for me.

    I have been experiencing the same problems today - the site just doesn't update. I'm deploying directly from Visual Studio, and this is neither a problem with server nor client caching.

    I managed to get the site to update by adding a new app setting. Restarting from the portal didn't work.

    I assume that changing app settings is pretty similar to a full stop and start, as the site became 503 unavailable for a few seconds. That also indicates that the restart feature is some kind of a soft restart.

    Same problem here. I am publishing an MVC site from Visual Studio. Changes that I have med in the views are not updated online.

    Seems that the files are deployed to another server than the actual web site is placed on.

    Anyone got a solution for this?

    Same problem here. Stopping and starting the website fixed the problem. Uploading the Web.config again, hoping to force a restart didn't work.

    I see this bug is reported 17th of July. Why is there no response from Microsoft yet?!

    Same issue here... FTP shows the updated file, browsing to it doesn't show the update. What gives? Replication issues on the cloud nodes or something?

    Same problem for me. Started today. I don't see any issues reported on the Azure service dashboard, though.
