  • When your role us looping with "Busy > Starting > ....." it means your role host process is experiencing an exception in your Role code. Because of it the host process dies and the Azure App Agent restarts it again after some time.. your best bet is to follow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10381345/webrole-is-not-starting-and-always-busy/10386637#10386637 – AvkashChauhan May 23 '12 at 16:56

If you want to see what is going on, just activate Remote Desktop on the instance.

I found that between recycling of the instance there is enough time to run the web site and get the yellow screen of death telling you which dll you are missing.
