    Hey, I am trying to use Microsoft Azure to install WordPress. I’ve been stuck for days, and have watched many tutorials.

    Everything appears to be setup fine, except when I go to mysite.azurewebsites.net, it’s just a blank page. The tutorials show this page should bring you to the WordPress setup.

    I already have 2 websites running on Azure from before. However it appears impossible to create a new one.

    Any ideas?

    A blank white page is a standard WordPress error screen – when de-bugging is turned off.

    To get around this and see what the errors are, edit your wp-config.php file and change this line to true:

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);

    That will allow error messages to be shown. You should also look at whatever error logs are available through yoru service (I haven’t used the Azure platform before so I don’t know where they are, but there has to be something available).

    I’m unable to get as far as modifying the wp-config.php file. Basically Azure uses a wizard to setup the wordpress install.

    The wizard gives no errors and says everything is running. But when I go to the URL they created for me: http://wpr.azurewebsites.net/ there is only a blank page.

    In all the tutorials I have seen, they show the WordPress prompt to setup the site there.

    Hey, I got it working now. You tip pointed me in the right direction.

    I had to FTPS into the site and edit the wp-config.php to change the $table_prefix variable to something different than the first site I created on Azure.
