Not able to publish website on Windows Azure using publish through VS2010

Question

I am facing this problem when I try to publish my web application on Windows Azure via Visual Studio 2010. I am trying by right click on project and select publish and importing publish profile downloaded from Windows Azure platform.

I am getting this error:

Error 1 Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("waws-prod-am2-001.publish.azurewebsites.windows.net"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started.

Answer 1

For those that the answer didn't work for (like me). Alternatively you can set an app setting in your Azure Website:

1. Set WEBSITE_WEBDEPLOY_USE_SCM = false in Azure Management Portal settings (under Website → Configuration → Application Settings). Make sure false is in the value field.

2. Download the publish settings again in VS or whatever you use to deploy.

3. Deploy successfully.
