Installation Question

It depends on how your environment is configured.  I believe Filestorage needs a local or network path, so the drive needs to be attached to or accessible via the network and not HTTP.  As far as search, you might need to look at firewall settings but you should be able to setup search on a remote server - I know it was supported in earlier versions - you'd just need to setup domains, ports, firrewalls etc correctly and then configure and install search with those settings.

What do I put in for FileStorage, if I am using Azure storage?

If you're talking Azure blob storage, I don't believe that works with the platform at the moment.  You'd need to attach a network drive to your VM

I am getting an error message when I try to install the job service on the VM with the default filestorage connection string.

C:\Modelzville\jobserver\Install.ps1 : 'C:\Modelzville\jobserver\filestorage\' does not contain a valid Tellgient

You probably only need one filestorage at the root of your web folder (for a local install) or outside the root accessible by both.  Where is your website installed?

My website is installed at a web hosting company

I have storage that came with the VM. That is what I'm planning to use for storage.

What is the path to the storage on the VM?  Is the website and job server on the same VM as the filestorage?

If your website loads, you should use the connectionstrings.config from there and put it in the job server.  However, if your filestorage connection string is something like/~/  you'd need to update it to something like C:\Modelzville\website\filestorage - meaning use an absolute path in the job server folder and not something relative.

The website and the job server are not on the same server. They aren't even on the same network.
