I have deployed a simple Sitecore 9 website in Azure PaaS. There's nothing so special about the code as it is only a newsletter sign up with Personalization. It works well, I can personalized my vistors, trigger a goal and view it in the Sitecore back-end through Experience Profile and Analytics. Everything is working smoothly as i expected. Until .. I opened my Experience Editor which throws the error below in the ribbon section. 

Server Error in '/' Application.
siteName
Description: An unhandled exception occurred. 

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: siteName

Source Error: 


Line 2:  @using Sitecore.ExperienceEditor.Speak.Ribbon.Controls.QuickbarButton

I saw this article from the community Sitecore but really not sure if why I encountered it at the first place. https://community.sitecore.net/developers/f/8/t/3979#pi214filter=all&pi214scroll=false

Any ideas?

Update-1: I found a similar issue in the stackoverflow. Experience Editor Server Error 8.1, but seems that is only for sitecore 8

I've provisioned another sitecore paas site, compared bin folder, sitecore folder, sitecore modules folder and app_config. All perfectly fine. And the least changes you've expect that will cause problem bite you back.

In my PROJECTABC.Website.config. I've to update some settings

    Just to clarify Marvin's answer, in my case this was caused by Preview.DefaultSite being set to a value that didn't have a matching <site> entry.

  • This can also happen if you decide to delete the default site "website" (for instance, if all your sites are defined within SXA).
