salman, Apologies for the delayed response from over the weekend.

Based on my understanding of your issue,

Just to highlight, You may FTP or SSH into App Service - please checkout this doc for the steps. Open an SSH session to a container in Azure App Service

You may also, navigate to your App Service via the Azure Portal.
Under the Development Tools section, select SSH then Go -->.

Modifying the default site config

You will want to make a copy of the existing configuration and place the file inside the /home/site directory.

cp

Once copied, edit the /home/site/default file and update the section below:

server

Creating the custom startup script

You will now need to create a custom startup script and save the file as /home/site/startup.sh

#!/bin/bash

In the custom startup script we are doing the following:

1. Overriding the existing /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default file with the /home/site/default file.
2. Reloading the NGINX service to make the updates take effect.

Hello Salman,

Thanks for your question

It might be looking for your application files in the wrong directory. Azure Web Apps look for the index.php file in the wwwroot folder. Make sure your CakePHP application's document root is set to wwwroot within your Azure configuration.

If you confirmed this, you may need to review your nginx configs.
