Answer 1

The error appeared when i tried load babel/register.

Please check the Cache.js at (..\node_modules\babel\node_modules\babel-core\lib\api\register\Cache.js) to see if there is any babel cache path definition, e.g.

process.env.BABEL_CACHE_PATH || _path2["default"].join(_homeOrTmp2["default"], ".babel.json");

If you leverage this kind of variables, it's needed to have BABEL_CACHE_PATH app setting key and value of ./cache otherwise anything with babel wouldn't work on azure. Please refer to http://blog.syntaxc4.net/post/2012/07/26/accessing-app-settings-configured-in-microsoft-azure-web-sites-using-php-and-node-js.aspx in case you wanna know the details of accessing app settings in Azure web site using node.js.
