I have a web site with a MS SQL backend. I have it hosted with GoDaddy. I wanted to consider hosting the site and data with Azure. I currently FTP the site up to GoDaddy and the data connection strings are in the site that are also hosted at Go Daddy. I wanted to know how to host the site at Azure and ftp the site up to the folders, I also was going to move the data. The error I am getting over at Go Daddy implies in Visual Studio that Azure would be able to solve as it provides a tool to keep the machine key connections current.
I joined Azure and to this day nobody has been able to help me know how to do these two simple things. The truth is, if I can just upload the site and see it work I will use that model and move the sites I have to Azure. I am old school. This should not be so complicated. Help, anyone?
I tried a bunch of help docs. I called. I have tickets open. I am new to Azure.
