404 Not found from azd init --template todo-csharp-cosmos-sql

[siegfried01]

I'm following this tutorial:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/get-started?tabs=devcontainer%2Cwindows&pivots=programming-language-csharp#initialize-project

I just upgraded azd prior to issuing the command

azd init --template todo-csharp-cosmos-sql

After it deploys, I go to the azure portal -> click on resource group -> click on web app -> click on browse button -> "404 not found".

@siegfried01 Can you verify the web app resource you clicked on is prefixed with app-web (the front-end web app) and not app-api (the backend API server)? The backend app-api for C# currently does not have a root endpoint mapped, which is likely why you received a 404. This is being fixed to show a Swagger UI interface definition instead.

[siegfried01]

Yes... I believe it was the app-web and not the app-api... I don't believe the portal display for the app-api has a browse button. Also: I checked the logs (log stream) and the error was that the web server was looking for index.html and could not find it. I suspect the compiled C# web app code did not deploy to the web site.

[weikanglim]

OK. There should be a browse button for both web apps. Did you run azd up instead of azd init? Just double checking -- I think the original thread says azd init but that is likely just a typo.

Was the azd up also successful? Making sure it did not fail the deployment half-way.

Re-running azd up is likely the easiest fix -- if it doesn't, then it might be some silent failure happening with the deployment.

OK, I tried again after deleting the directory contents on my computer and deleting the resource group and purging the key vault on the portal:
