Getting Started in Microsoft Azure Cloud

A WebSQL Server can be launched in the Azure cloud as a VM instance using the Azure Management Portal as described here.

  1. Note: ensure you switched to the Azure Preview Portal.
  2. Click the Marketplace tile or + New button on the left tool bar of the window.
  3. Search and choose the WebSQL Server virtual machine.
  4. On the next step, click Create and follow the description from step 4.

To connect to the WebSQL Server, wait until its status is Running. Note: it will take a few minutes (up to 5).

  1. In a browser, go to https://thePublicDNS/websqlgui.html page, where thePublicDNS can be obtained in the Azure Management Portal. As a rule, it consists of the Host Name you specified for your WebSQL Server and ".cloudapp.net": https://theHostName.cloudapp.net/websqlgui.html. Note: the server creates a new self-signed certificate and a browser may warn that the security certificate could not be authenticated.
  2. On the websqlgui.html page, sign in using the User Name and Password you specified for your WebSQL Server.
