I want to add re-write rules to my Azure app service, but if I even try create a web.config with a simple rewrite as shown below, the site returns an HTTP 500.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Test" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="test" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
What I did is create the web.config from scratch and FTP it into the wwwroot folder for the app service which is where I Ftp'd the rest of my web site files.
I have seen an old conversation about web.config files in Azure, but I'm not even sure if this is in regards to Azure app service - and things change so quickly in Azure that I thought I should ask separately anyways.
I have also seen this link about using web.config transforms. Maybe this is required?
This other link seems to indicate that updating web.config is possible, but their example results in an HTTP 500 for me as well.
I've looked through configuration options in the Azure portal for my app service and nothing seems to jump out at me.
