I have deployed a simple sitecore 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 backend trhough 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.

Update-1: I found a similar issue in the stackoverflow. https://sitecore.stackexchange.com/questions/6201/experience-editor-server-error-8-1, but seems that is only for sitecore 8
