installing rock on microsoft azure

2

I followed this guide https://www.rockrms.com/Rock/BookContent/1/73#introduction and set up microsoft azure. We are a small church using the $5000 credit and wanting to run rock on azure.

I am stuck at this point Place the Start.aspx file from the installer package in the root of the web folder. By default, the web root folder will be located here: C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Open up a web browser and go to http://localhost/Start.aspx to begin the installation process."


Where do i go in the azure portal to place the rock start file and then how do i access that file to start installation?

    I’m not sure if you connect with the ROck community in slack but many of us have had great success using Azure’s SQL Server supposed to the full Microsoft SQL Server and it will save you some of that grant allowing you to use the additional resources for other purposes. If your not in the slack community I encourage you to come join us. If you are or you need additional information on this let us now and we can dig up the conversation in slack for your reference

      You'll need to RDP to the Azure server or enable FTP access to upload Start.aspx.  Then browse to http://[your server name]/Start.aspx.

      If you use RDP the path is `C:\inetpub\wwwroot`.  If you use FTP the path is `site\wwwroot`.

      thanks. I found C:\inetpub\wwwroot and was able to load start.aspx. what exactly is my server name. Is it the name I gave the virtual machine or the sql server?
