php - Creating an azure php web role

Question

I have somewhat successfully followed this tutorial:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlining/archive/2012/06/21/creating-a-php-web-role-in-windows-azure.aspx

However I am stuck. I am not entirely sure how to create an instance in the azure management portal, after I have set up the web role on my local machine.

There are currently no instances set up. When I try to set them up, it asks me to upload a package and configuration file. Where can I find these.

Thanks

This should be a comment on your question but I can't make comments yet.

When creating a new cloud service do not check the box "Deploy a cloud service package."

If you use + -> Compute -> Cloud Service -> Quick Create it won't ask for a package either.

Once it's done being created you can open it up to download the credential file for Power Shell.
