We've had a deployment working for a few years now and recently had to deploy a new version of our app to the AppService. Unfortunately, the deployment from Azure DevOps is broken; it looks like the SCM service isn't working or started. The error we get is:

Error: Error Code: ERROR_COULD_NOT_CONNECT_TO_REMOTESVC
More Information: Could not connect to the remote computer ("{OUR_APP_NAME}.scm.azurewebsites.net") using the specified process ("Web Management Service") because the server did not respond. Make sure that the process ("Web Management Service") is started on the remote computer. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_COULD_NOT_CONNECT_TO_REMOTESVC.
Error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
Error count: 1.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Well, actually I'm trying to submit the question over there and I keep getting an error.

    After more investigation, I don't believe this is a DevOps problem. I have tried to publish directly from Visual Studio 2019 using the downloaded publish profile and I get a similar error:

    Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("*removed_for_privacy*.scm.azurewebsites.net") using the specified process ("Web Management Service") because the server did not respond. Make sure that the process ("Web Management Service") is started on the remote computer.  Learn more at: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_COULD_NOT_CONNECT_TO_REMOTESVC.)
