Azure ServiceConfiguration schema issue

Question

I'm using the azure plugin for eclipse to package 5 compute services. Deploying 1 works just fine but when I added the other 4 I got the following error. Note, I am not editing any xml manually.

Error:

C:\public\deploy\ServiceConfiguration.cscfg(48,2) : Error : Error CloudService 51 : The element 'ServiceConfiguration' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceConfiguration' has invalid child element 'Role'......

I followed the auzure eclipse plugin instructions to download the latest SDK so I want to rule out a version mismatch there. What could be going on here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Answer 1

It turns out that all the roles need to be listed in sequence in the XML. I had a NetworkConfiguration node in the middle which was causing the issue. Move it to the end.

The overall structure of configuration file has to be as mentioned at MSDN.
