I was having the same issue but after restarting management service it worked for me.

Here are the steps:

  1. Go to your windows server where IIS Server configured.
  2. Control Panel => System and Security => Administrative Tools => Services.
  3. In the Services. Restart Web Deployment Agent Service and Web Management Service

Give a try now to web deploy.


This may occur if you are connecting to the internet via a 3G dongle or card.

I have the same error and earlier in my warnings was "Retrying the sync because a socket error (10054) occurred" I'm stuck on a 3G connection today and getting this for the 1st time so presume these are related.


I had a similar problem trying to publish a WebSite on Azure. I solved it by restarting the website from azure management. If you're deploying to IIS, I suggest to try a restart or a stop and start for your website and try publishing again.
