My test website for nop4 is running fine on azure, I have built a custom pipeline to deploying from VSTS (this does take some customisation), but it is not doing anything extraordinary. Basically, these are the steps

Create a new resource group
Create a new App Service (with a new price plan)
Create a new SQL database (with a new database server)
Create a new storage account (used for DB backups and pictures if necessary)

From VS2017 clean and then rebuild the solution
From the solution explorer, right click on the Nop.Web project and click publish (select existing app service)

Thanks for your input which is essentially what I've done but consistently get the same error. As you had it working there must be a fundamental issue with my set up or I'm missing something.

Issue finally resolved.

1. Ensure project is cleaned/rebuilt
2. Precompiled nop4 doesn't work (at least not in this iteration)
3. Ensure SQL db an site are in the same resource group. This may not be a requirement but it helps

Did anybody on here figure this out, I have nop 4.0, and it will not publish to azure, I have tried every way I can from various peoples posts but nothing has worked. FTP through FileZilla is not working it does not create the same database I have in my local sql, I even tried to deploy sql local database to azure which also doesn't work. If I do a fresh publish through VS in azure I get sent to the install page which then when I fill out the changes it only shows the changes ive made to certain things, to me it seems to not recognise my original database...does anyone have an answer please.

Ive been told its got something to do with dataSettings.json an installedPlugins.json but I have tried that by dragging into FileZilla an into the root of azure folder
