How to redirect one azure web site to another

Xiang ZHU 40

Hello,

I hosts web site say https://one.azurewebsites.net with Azure web app.

Publishing model: Code

Runtime Stack: Staticsite - 1.0

Operating System: Linux

User's image

Now I have another web app with url : https://two.azurewebsites.net.

I would like to configure the web app of https://one.azurewebsites.net that redirects all the trafics to https://two.azurewebsites.net

Which means:

etc.

Could someone can tell me how to achieve that ? Thanks

Hi, Xiang

You could add a web.config redirect file to your application, to do the redirect.

Thanks for the rapid reply, I created the file web.config under ~/site/wwwroot , and restarted the web app, but it seems that it doesn't work.

My runtime is not .net, but just a simple staticsite 1.0 (as shown in the screenshot), so the web.config could be applied too ?

If thats the case, try creating a new staticwebapp.config.json file for Routes, and adding the redirect.

"routes": [ { "route": "/index.html", "redirect": "https://www.google.com", "statusCode": 301 } ]

I would like to rediret the whole site, but not just a single url, but I can try index.html url for a test, it seems that it's still KO...

above message is from the ssh on host https://one.azurewebsites.net

root@000000000:/home/site/wwwroot# cat staticwebapp.config.json 
"routes": [
    {
      "route": "/",
      "redirect": "https://<hostname_masked>.azurewebsites.net",
      "statusCode": 301
    },
    {
      "route": "/index.html",
      "redirect": "https://<hostname_masked>.azurewebsites.net",
      "statusCode": 301
    }
]

Try

"route": "/*"

Not sure if it would work, but supports wildcards.

Check the location path: The recommended location for the staticwebapp.config.json is in the folder set as the app_location in the workflow file. However, the file may be placed in any subfolder within the folder set as the app_location.

I'am not sure staticwebapp.config.json applies to my scenario, as I'm not using azure statci web app, instead, I'm using an azure web app with Runtime Stack: Staticsite - 1.0 as shown in the initial question. During the deployment, the html are pre-built, and I just push the html files to the azure web app
