Hi all, I have recently moved to a new app service plan in a new subscription in Azure. So I'm starting from scratch again. I moved my Umbraco apps, and all my v12 apps are failing on every page with 'page not found'. Looking in the logs the error is 'No physical template found'. I am running all my apps in the production runtime mode. I removed the 2 lines from the csproj which the docs recommend. Can anybody help? The exact same configuration was working in my previous app plan. I think it maybe has to do with rights.

Linux azure app should run fine

Yeah it did work before as I said

> I am running all my apps in the production runtime mode Presumably you are refering to this configuration setting: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/setup/server-setup/runtime-modes You will get this issue if the views are not compiled, i.e. there is not a DLL present containing the compiled views. If you use a disassembler like dotPeek, you will be able to see if there is a namespace and view classes in your main DLL. When running in Production mode you have to precompile your views on publish. This can be tricky because: 1. The views need to be comepletely free of errors, and; 2. I don't think the build or publish process fails if the views don't compile. So locally, it's difficult to see if your views are publish-ready. You also need to ensure that the views are published as files for the backoffice, even if they are not used by the front end.

Thats a good shout actually. I might check with dotpeek later to see if that was the case!

Thanks for that. I'd been struggling with no templates for a day or so. The wording on that document is awful though. I might PR a change. I always do the Dev and Prod scenario, but not everyone does. If you do things the Dev/Prod way then you need to remove or comment out the RazorCompileOnBuild & RazorCompileOnPublish nodes in the csproj file. Otherwise when you push to a Production env you don't find the templates. It's an interesting Gotcha 🙂

Yeah, whats weird is that I followed all the steps. But when zip deploying to my web app it worked, while a web deploy did not. Now everything works fine still

I've tried to remove or comment out the RazorCompileOnBuild and RazorCompileOnPublish nodes in my csproj. but when I do that my application won't even build. I know this is an old thread but thought I could make it come alive again

Hmm, I've had exactly this. What was the reason again?

the node it's trying to load doesn't have a template, but regardless, any other node/page im trying to visit it cannot find the template of, and in the backoffice i can see it's correctly set

~~Öh, did you hijack the post? It seems to pertain to Azure only? ~~ So Azure is not causing your problem, but you are getting the same error? What OS is the on-prem running?

the on-prem is running windows, we have the application setup in IIS, and the applicationpool/user has full access to all files

No problem, hence the strikethrough 🙂
