Hi Fermin Herrera,

The error message "The network path was not found: 'C:\home\site\wwwroot\host.json'" usually indicates that Azure Functions can't access the host.json file. This could be due to the file being missing, corrupted, or a problem with the deployment.

Check if host.json Exists:

• Make sure the host.json file is in the root directory of your function app. It should be located in the wwwroot folder.
• You can verify this using the Kudu console in the Azure portal:
  • Navigate to Development Tools > Advanced Tools (Kudu) > Debug Console > CMD, and check if host.json is at C:\home\site\wwwroot\host.json
• If the host.json file is missing or damaged, redeploy your function app to restore it.
• If you've already restarted the function, try doing it again after redeploying the app to refresh the settings.
• Ensure there are no permission issues that might be blocking access to the file or directory.
