Addressing web deploy issues

When configuring new web deploys, often one can run into strange issues, and sometimes there isn’t much feedback given. In most cases I have found following these two steps helpful:

Check Credentials

Ensure that the credentials for the user performing the deployment are accurate. Typically, both read and write access are necessary for successful deployment.

Enable Detailed Logs

If you encounter errors and Visual Studio lacks sufficient details, enable the logs. You can find them at Event Viewer >> Application and service logs >> Microsoft >> Windows >> Web Deploy

This has helped me get out of web deploy issues, and I hope it helps you!
