Great instructional video. I found that app service + MySQL for azure database combination to have really slow performance…no matter how much i scaled up. I ended up having to move to vm and host the server and db on the same machine which really improved site speed, dramatically. Did I miss something? Shouldn’t App Service and Azure MySQL perform just as well?
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Performance can take many angles. Was it slow connection between the app and database? What was the load on the website? Was the web app and database scaled up to handle the load? Did you place the database and the web app in the same Azure region?
Hello. Thank you for the video. Could you please explain why it would be more interesting to host wordress on azure rather than a regular hosting provider ( godaddy, ovh...) ?
Thanks for watching. It's really just a preference thing. Azure PaaS services reduce a lot of the overhead of managing a database or webserver, while offering immense scale and security, but a regular hosting provider can also do the trick.
If you are a Microsoft customer, which many corporations are, they already have Azure spend and other infrastructure and applications running in Azure, so it makes sense to also host their wordpress sites in Azure. It would probably be overkill if you are only hosting one Wordpress site and nothing else...
Thanks a lot Sephen, followed all your steps and it worked perfectly, however I am facing a challenge. I tried connecting ftp so I can view and edit some of the wp core files, but everytime I mount the ftp successfully, it only shows the wwwroot/ and a hostingstart.html. It appears the wp core files are no where to be found. Please any idea how I can access these files? I would appreciate a feedback♥
Great Content Stephen! where can i learn to run Linux + db sets like this? or can I apply this tutorial with docker on my own small demo projects? do you have a blog or github? thanks again :-)
Hey Lawrence, no blog or GitHub unfortunately. This tutorial will show you how to build and run custom Docker containers on App Service. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/tutorial-custom-container?pivots=container-linux
Hey Damian, sorry it took me so long, but here is the new video on how to deploy a web app to an existing instance of app services. th-cam.com/video/dUdT0UiRKVc/w-d-xo.html
Hi Stephen, I tried all the steps but unfortunately getting "Error establishing a database connection". I can access the mysql through workbench successfully and my credentials and connection are working fine. Any idea what I could be missing here or does Azure does not allow these steps anymore?
Hey Walter did you figure it out? Did you provide access for app services to access the database. Potentially Azure has changed things to prevent this configuration by default.
@@StephenHelwigTalksTech Hi Stephen, Thanks for your reply, The issue was resolved after I used the "WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA" . Initially I skipped it assuming it was extra configuration but later on I realized its importance when I checked the server parameters. Many Thanks for posting this amazing video. truly helpful. cheers..
Hey Sheraton, what is it you're trying to accomplish? You would probably need something like Azure Media Services to do the encoding is my guess, azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/media-services/#features.

very well made Demo, Stephen. keep up the good work.
I followed the exact same steps but doesn't load the site.. not create an entry to db
thank you for this tutorial, made a lot more sense. Performance-wise, its much better compare using the Wordpress Azure App in the marketplace.
Glad you liked it. And yes the performance is very good. Especially because you can scale if needed.
Thanks, Stephen. It's really helpful.
how to descriptively add and customize the plug ins?

Thank you for the video, but where can I change the files like editing theme css. Normally I would do this with an ftp.
You might be able to get there from the Kudu console. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/resources-kudu
@@StephenHelwigTalksTech Kudu only shows files when you are using ftp, not when using Docker :)
Thanks, Stephen! Your video was really helpful and easy to follow.
