No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI

[Layanshafaamri]

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the template. It does not work. It shows this error:

"Template deployment returned the following errors:
16:06:55 - 4:06:49 PM - Resource Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups 'lsh' failed with message '{
16:06:55 - "message": "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/fcebdb0c-44cf-4d89-8248-e9acdbafd358/resourcegroups/lsh4/providers/Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups/lsh?api-version=2018-05-01'."

Any idea what is wrong?

looking at the URI you need to target the subscription to make this work and you are targeting the resource group

How can i do that? i just copied the template from GitHub and deployed it. Here is the link 👍 https://github.com/krnese/AzureDeploy/blob/master/ARM/deployments/rgCreate.json

I just copied the template below to Visual Studio"
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.1",
"parameters": {
"rgName": {
"type": "string"
},
"rgLocation": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"variables": {},
"resources": [
{
"type": "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups",
"apiVersion": "2018-05-01",
"location": "[parameters('rgLocation')]",
"name": "[parameters('rgName')]",
"properties": {}
}
],
"outputs": {}
}",

I am still getting the same error.

why would it matter if its visual studio or not? read the article I've linked.

I am trying to give you all the information to sort it out accurately. I have seen the the link you have sent me many times while researching, and i still cannot find what is the reason behind the template failure.

[4c74356b41]

you are using wrong command to deploy the template. thats the reason. read the article carefully.

@Layanshafaamri , You are trying to create resource group within a resource group.
This template, it creates a resource group and then creates a storage account in that resource group.

If you want the same template to work,
New-AzDeployment -TemplateFile .\rgCreate.json -Location "UK SOuth"

Note: Make sure that Storage account name must be between 3 and 24 characters in length.

I'm trying to deploy the same template but via an azure pipeline task.
That fails because my pipeline task as detailed below tries to deploy to a resource group, the same group that it is actually trying to create.

task: AzureResourceGroupDeployment@2
displayName: 'Azure Deployment:Create Resource Group'
inputs:
azureSubscription: $(azureSubscription)
resourceGroupName: $(resourceGroupName)
location: $(location)
csmFile: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/container-resourceGroup-template.json'
overrideParameters: '-rgName "$(resourceGroupName)" -rgLocation "$(location)"'

Removing the resourceGroupName: $(resourceGroupName) line from above fails because it is a required clause

I did not find a pipeline task for doing subscription level deployments, is there one?

[ArindamRayMukherjee]

Silly me, I didn't realize that pipeline tasks create a resource group if they do not find one!
