Mappings

Use Configuration > Path mappings to configure handler and virtual application and directory mappings. Which options are available to you depend on the OS type of your app.

Windows (uncontainerised)

For Windows apps, you can customise IIS handler mappings as well as virtual application and directory mappings.

IIS handler mappings allow particular requests to be handled by particular script processors depending on their extensions.

• IIS handler mappings
  • Extension - file extension to handle, e.g. *.php
  • Processor - absolute path to script processor
  • Arguments - custom CLI environments to be passed to the processor
• Virtual applications and directories
  • Virtual path - desired path for virtual directory
  • Physical path - relative to website root D:\home
  • To mark a directory as a virtual application, clear the Directory checkbox

Linux and containers

For Linux apps and custom containers, virtual directories are azure storage mounts. These can be configured as follows with basic or advanced configuration available:

• Name - display name
• Basic
  • Account
  • Type
    • Blobs - read only
    • Files - Windows only
  • Container
  • Mount path
  • Deployment slot
• Advanced
  • Share name
  • Access key
