getting started with Azure.
I installed VS2013, the Azure SDK for VS2013 and web deploy 3.5
following the steps on this post
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-deploy-aspnet-mvc-app-membership-oauth-sql-database/
When I try to deploy to a website created in Azure with DB, I get
Error 1 '', hexadecimal value 0x10, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 228.
The details:
Transformed Web.config using C:\Projects\ContactManager\ContactManager\Web.Release.config into obj\Release\TransformWebConfig\transformed\Web.config.
Copying all files to temporary location below for package/publish:
obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\Source.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_compiler.exe -v / -p C:\Projects\ContactManager\ContactManager\obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\Source -u -c C:\Projects\ContactManager\ContactManager\obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\TempBuildDir
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Web\Deploy\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.MSDeploy.Common.targets(42,5): Error : '', hexadecimal value 0x10, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 228.
I have tried uninstalling VS2013, the SDK and even web deploy and reinstalling them and that didn't help.
One caveat:
when I try to deploy to a website created without DB, I get don't get the error above.
any help appreciated
UPDATE:
Figured it out.My DB Password had the "%" character. I guess that's not well handled by Visual Studio at the moment.
After removing the "%" character from my DB password, I was able to deploy again.
