How to deploy an existing wordpress project on windows azure


Actually the same link above has a section which explains how you can import an existing PHP-Wordpress codebase in your newly created project, as below:

Using an existing WordPress codebase:

If you already have an existing WordPress codebase and would like to move your files into the WordPress scaffold there is a new command line parameter that will allow you to import your existing source instead of downloading a new copy. To use it add the -source parameter, which will be similar to the following

-source path/to/WordPress

Note: I followed the exact same path, I added the "-source" parameter directing to my existing wordpress folder and when new project was created all my files were imported to new project. This was very easy as I could use SQL Azure immediately which was set in ServiceConfiguration.cscfg befor I ran the WordPress scaffold.
