Deploying ASP.NET vNext beta 2 on Azure with Kudu

Question

According to this blog post, I can deploy vNext apps to Azure using Kudu. I\'ve successfully tried it with vNext beta 1. However, it does not work with vNext beta 2.

Why

Answer 1

I just ran into this problem today and the following worked for me:

Set the following environment variables (app settings) in your Azure Web Site:

SCM_KRE_Version 1.0.0-beta2

SCM_KRE_CLR CoreCLR

Clarification SCM_KRE_CLR defaults to the "full" clr, only set SCM_KRE_CLR to CoreCLR if you want to run your website using the new CoreCLR, assuming your site targets ASPNETCORE50 (which has since been renamed to DNXCORE50 after beta3)
