Hello,
I have installed a new web based instance of nopCommerce version 4.2 (no source code) on an Azure VM . The Azure VM has a public IP address available. Prior to installing when I go to the default website at http://'public ip address' I am able to view a basic website.
After installing nopCommerce and starting it by running Nop.Web.exe I am able to view the entire site locally on the VM by going to http://localhost:5000
The site is not available via the public IP address though and the default website that was working prior to running it is also not working. If I remove all of the nopCommerce files from the directory the default website will work again.
Does anyone have any insight on what could be happening? I have read through the installation guide. Could it be related to permissions on folders? The guide says to give Write permission to a number of folders but does not say what account needs Write access. Perhaps it is because when I run locally as an admin I have correct permissions but when running publicly a different account needs Write access?
