I was experimenting with the Azure GuestBook sample application provided with the Azure platform training kit.
I quickly ran into trouble when the application tried to create the blob container. An exception was thrown: “The remote server returned an error: (300) Amiguous Redirect.”
This was a bit confusing since i had used the development blob storage earlier. My first reaction was to check in on the sample code and it’s configuration since this was my first test drive with the June SDK. All things looked perfectly ok though.
If the code was working it had to be something with my local environment, what had changed since last time I ran local Azure development?
After some investigation I found that another application, µTorrent, had snatched the port 10000 which blob storage was configured to use. Once I shut down µTorrent and restarted blob storage everything worked perfectly.
