Where can I find the web.config in the Azure portal?

Question

Every guide that I see say to do something with the web.config file in Azure. However, no matter how much I Google, there is nowhere to be found the steps that I need to take to find the web.config file. Your help will be highly appreciated :)

Answer 1

There are a few scenarios here. First: when you run on an App Service there is a web.config file. As David Makagon said, it's not accessible through the portal. By default, app services have Kudu available. One of the things this gives you is something like a file explorer. To access Kudu for an App Service with URL https://someapp.azurewebsites.net , go to https://someapp.SCM.azurewebsites.net .

A second thing you could do (which is part of Kudu) is use the App Service Editor. This is an online editor that looks very much like Visual Studio Code . Go to https://someapp.scm.azurewebsites.net/dev .

The third thing: if you have any settings in your web.config that you want to manage without updating the configuration file, have a look at the Application Settings . Any setting that's in there overrides the setting with the same name in the web.config.
