Answer 1

You can try following options to fix your issue.

1.  Fixed the issue using UseIISIntegration() on the WebHostBuilder.as follows:

public static void Main(string[] args)

{

var whost = new WebHostBuilder()

UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())

UseKestrel()

UseIISIntegration() // Must for Azure.

UseStartup<Program>()

.Build();

whost.Run();

}

 

2.    Fixed the issue by setting the requestTimeout within the web.config as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>

  <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">

    <system.webServer>

      <handlers>

        <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />

      </handlers>

      <aspNetCore processPath=".\PROJECT.exe" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" requestTimeout="00:30:00"/>

    </system.webServer>

  </location>

</configuration>

3.    Fixed the issue by following the below steps.

Firstly my application was .NET CORE 2.2 and I was trying to deploy it in the Azure web app.

I just Right Clicked on the project and clicked on the publish button.

After that Selected the publish profile which I had downloaded from Azure.

Next changed the deployment mode under the Summary to Self-Contained.

Finally clicked on publish button and it worked.
