New DNN 10 Install on Azure Bug

12/1/2025 DNN Azure

DNN 10 new install on Azure fails to load after completion.

install of DNN 10 on an Azure app service. The wizard completed successfully and then the site showed a 503 service unavailable error. Checking the logs gave me the message that "The file '/Admin/ControlPanel/ControlBar.ascx' does not exist."

Fix here . . . . 

After a little while of frustrated searching, I discovered that the problem is that in the HostSettings table, the value for ControlPanel was set to '/Admin/ControlPanel/ControlBar.ascx' and needs to be set to 'DesktopModules/admin/Dnn.PersonaBar/UserControls/PersonaBarContainer.ascx'

Making that change and then restarting the site fixed the problem for me.
