I've been trying to add a virtual directory to my Azure Web App.
Just like this post from 2 years ago (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/0cbdbd8e-2112-4c7b-8871-7a907bf1de37/how-can-i-create-a-virtual-directory-with-azure-app-service) I seem to missing the option but can't work out why?
I've gone to the web app, click on the Configuration blade then clicked on the Path Mapping tab.
There is an option for it.
Any idea's what I am missing?
Some further digging has revealed that this could be because we are running a Linux App Service as php has been selected as the language of choice.
This means that we either need to use "web app linux containers" or find some other means of redirecting the user.
I had a quick go using a .htaccess file with a simple RewriteCond, but this didn't appear to work.
Can anyone confirm any of this to be the case on Azure Web App's?
Any guidance notes on how to simulate a virtual directory for multiple custom domains on an Linux App Service set up would also be appricated.
Virtual Applications and Directories option is not available with App Services on Linux.

Thanks for asking question! As said by @Jaliya Udagedara Configuration of virtual directories on Linux App Service is different as it is on Windows App Service.
You can do this is to containerize your application with the settings you want, or fork one of our existing built-in containers.
As its mentioned in the document here that you can add custom storage for your containerized app. Containerized apps include all Linux apps and also the Windows and Linux custom containers running on App Service.
Further you may refer to this article if you want to map multi-domains for multi-sites in single Linux Web App
Let us know if further query or issue remains.
I had a go at the article an unfortunately it did not work. I am struggling to get my head around containers so need to do some reading.
For the time being I have build my own "redirection" script which examines the host header and includes the content of the relevant sub folder.
Not ideal, but works for my purpose at the moment.
