Can't upload to Azure Media Services - File Not Found - azure-media-services

Question

When I run the website locally, the video will upload to azure and I get a publish url. No problem. However, when I publish the website and then try to upload from there, I get this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

I think you should use this to upload file by uploading the stream
public void UploadFileToAzure(Stream stream, string fileName, string contentType,
EContextType contextType) {
if (stream == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("stream");
if (fileName == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("fileName");
CloudBlobContainer blobContainer = null;
switch (contextType)
{
case EContextType.CloudStorage:
blobContainer = AzureBlobUtil.InitializeBlob(Settings.AzureBlobStorageFileStorage, Settings.GetAzureDataConnectionString);
break;
default:
blobContainer = AzureBlobUtil.InitializeBlob(Settings.AzureBlobStorageDocument, Settings.GetAzureDataConnectionString);
break;
}
var blob = blobContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(fileName);
blob.UploadFromStream(stream);
blob.Metadata["FileName"] = fileName;
blob.Metadata["IsArchived"] = false.ToString();
blob.SetMetadata();
// Set the properties
blob.Properties.ContentType = contentType;
blob.SetProperties();
}
