AccessKey not valid

[gbrueckl]

Hi,

i am running Project Nami Wordpress together with BlobCache. All of my users get the following error message displayed at the very bottom of the page:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'The provided account key '' is not a valid base64 string. It has to pass the check 'base64_decode(, true)'.' in D:\home\site\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\project-nami-blob-cache\library\WindowsAzure\Common\Internal\StorageServiceSettings.php:185 Stack trace: #0 D:\home\site\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\project-nami-blob-cache\library\WindowsAzure\Common\Internal\ServiceSettings.php(131): WindowsAzure\Common\Internal\StorageServiceSettings::WindowsAzure\Common\Internal{closure}('') #1 D:\home\site\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\project-nami-blob-cache\library\WindowsAzure\Common\Internal\ServiceSettings.php(270): WindowsAzure\Common\Internal\StorageServiceSettings::WindowsAzure\Common\Internal{closure}(Array) #2 D:\home\site\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\project-nami-blob-cache\library\WindowsAzure\Common\Internal\StorageServiceSettings.php(395): WindowsAzure\Common\Internal\ServiceSettings::matchedSpecification(Array, Object(Closure), Object(Closure in D:\home\site\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\project-nami-blob-cache\library\WindowsAzure\Common\Internal\StorageServiceSettings.php on line 185

it is basically complaining about a missing Account Key (Azure Storage Account Key I would guess). However, I could not find any place where to specify it?!?

Have you created the app settings as listed in the ReadMe?

Hi,
thanks for the quick response!
no I did not, I followed the instructions from here:
https://github.com/ProjectNami/projectnami-blob-cache

[patrickebates]

Both pieces together are required for Blob Cache to operate. The plugin handles writes, and the IIS Module checks for hits/misses and handles cache reads.

[patrickebates]

You may want to have a look at our ZIP package if you've not see it yet. It contains all of the various components and more instructions on how they work together.

ok, seems to work now! thanks!
one last question though: it says "Copy the contents of bin folder into your existing bin folder at the root of your site"
what would be the root-folder if the site is hosted as Azure Web Site?
site?
wwwroot?
the real root folder ""`?

[patrickebates]

wwwroot, the root folder of the site itself. so at the same level as your web.config will be.

ok, thats what I assumed and did
then I restarted the Web App
for some reasons it is still not working and I get the following error messages:
[09-Jun-2016 12:41:26 UTC] Fail:
Code: 404
Value: The specified blob does not exist.
details (if any): .

if I browse a new sub-site, a new entry gets created in the blob-container which I specified for the plugin

any ideas?

[patrickebates]

If you're seeing files written to the storage container, then you must have StorageAccount, StorageKey, and StorageContainer configured correctly...

I would set Proactive to 0 and Debug to 1, if you haven't already.

Also, exactly where are you seeing this error? In a log, or when attempting to access a page is the browser returning this data?

[gbrueckl]

just set Debug to 1, Proactive was already 0

the error appeared in the php_errors.log in the root of the FTP server of my Web App

for the root-web-site Debugging reveals:
!-- Key c5d5b508a448880ffaf946475b17e938 ServerVar https://mysite.azurewebsites.net/ Rewrite https://mysite.azurewebsites.net/index.php --

I can find the file c5d5b508a448880ffaf946475b17e938 in my blob cache folder

for all other sites it generates the new file in the cache folder but still says

[patrickebates]

To clarify, you're running multisite as subfolders? I can't imagine that being an issue due to how the hashed filename is generated, but I believe we might have only tested the subdomain method of multisite.

[gbrueckl]

with root-web-site I mean index.php
its a single Web App which only hosts WordPress
