I'm Just Sick and Tired…. No Really, I Am!

Apologies to all who have been messaging me over social media, looking for some feedback on an article or guidance here or there. I've contracted a virus and it's been about 3 months now of bedrest, tests, hospital stays, and a 9-1-1 call just to spice things up (no, really, I needed an ambulance).

Sitecore 10 Is Out, but Installing It Isn't Without Its Bugs. HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure Can Creep up on You.

I've been a fan of the graphical installer coming back and simplifying installations. I was even more impressed with the requirements check and auto-installation, which would set up a plethora of components and services. It seems though there's some items missing from this list which needed to be done manually, and we'll go through that today.

Clearing Your Media Cache in Azure Isn't as Simple As It Sounds, Thanks to This Little Kudu Access Issue.

During our latest release there was a need to clear our media cache. Normally I'd be happy to do this by just restarting the app, but in production that method is not satisfactory. After a few twists and turns it became clear the only way to do this without a restart is to write a custom script, so here you go!
