I have a strange problem with Azure!
I recently updated my deployed site from MVC3 to MVC4 . I did this by creating a new MVC4 project that uses only Nuget packages, so should it be "bin deployable"? I copied only the main sections throughout my Web.config in the root and in the "Views" folder.
Everything works fine locally, but after deploying to Azure, I found that the role was stuck in Busy, but the site is working! It also spontaneously recycles the instance (assuming due to its state of employment).
I have added Intellitrace to the deployment and complain that this link does not exist:
The role entry point could not be loaded due to the following exceptions:
- System.IO.FileLoadException: Failed to load file or assembly "System.Web.Mvc, Version = 3.0.0.0"
I don’t know why it is trying to download the MVC Version 3 link in project 4. I searched Web.configs for any links to 3.0.0.0, and the project links seem to be fine.
Please, help! Are there any additional debugging steps that I can follow?
Thank!
