WebContentNotFound for Blob Storage Static Webste

Guillaume Mösching 0

Hi Team,

I set up a static website in the $web container of a blob storage. I'm able to access it with .z6.web.core.windows.net

Now I'm trying to configure a custom domain pointing to the storage. I've tried to setup a CDN and a frontdoor. But for both of them I'm getting a 404 WebContentNotFound for the azureedge.net site, the z02.azurefd.net site, and the custom domain. I have an index.html file in the container, and the static website page is configured with this file for "Index document name" and "Error document path".

The container's Anonymous access level is set to "Container".

I've tried also the url paths ../$web and /$web/index.html

Is there any other information you would like?

I'm out of ideas and I kindly request your support.

@Guillaume Mösching ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you are trying to set up custom domain to your Static website.

For the sake of troubleshooting,

Please let me know if you'd prefer CDN or AFD and I can assist accordingly.

May I know what endPoint you used in Origin?

Is it "<YOURACCOUNTNAME>.z6.web.core.windows.net/index.html"

or "<YOURACCOUNTNAME>.blob.core.windows.net/$web/index.html"

CDN : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-create-a-storage-account-with-cdn

AFD : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/scenario-storage-blobs

If you use "<YOURACCOUNTNAME>.z6.web.core.windows.net/index.html" - you don't have to specify the "$web" in your path name

Cheers,

Kapil

Hello,

I belive I was able to fix the problem. The solution for me was to create a CDN then associate it to the webstorage. Previously, I was creating a CDN or frontdoor from the static website page where the is a form to create the delivery service.

I still believe there is a bug in the system but for the moment, I have a solution.

I will send you the account name by private message.

Thank you,

Guillaume

@Guillaume Mösching ,

In that case, I believe this could be a misconfiguration issue in the first case.

Note that you do not have to share the actual origin, just that if you are using Static webiste or the Blob URL.

Thanks,

@KapilAnanth-MSFT ,

When you have a URL like below,

https://<YOURACCOUNTNAME>.z6.web.core.windows.net/

And when we access the Static Website directly, it gives 404 as well.

This means that the 404 is not coming from AFD/CDN, rather from the Storage Account directly

AFD/CDN is just passing the result to the clients

Wrt, "I would like to close the access to public on the storage acount and enable only a few IP addresses."

If you want a L7 reverse proxy from Azure, then you should consider

connect Azure Front Door Premium to a storage account origin with Private Link.

or connect Azure Front Door Premium to a storage static website origin with Private Link.

Without Private Link, you cannot block access to Public as AFD/CDN would require your service be publicly available.

You confirmed the issue has been resolved once you opened the Firewall in the Storage Account, allowing AFD/CDN to access it.

Thanks,

Kapil
