Service static htm when app service is restarting-CodePudding

We have a lot of traffic to our website, and when we deploy an update to our app the app service will restart. This takes around 4-5 minutes to restart and this "App service unavailable" message is shown to every user visiting the page.

Using app_offline.htm in the wwwroot does not work.

Is there any way to serve a static html file when restarting your app service? Or when it is offline?

CodePudding user response：

Create one default html file with the content which you want to show.

In web.config file , in <system.webServer> tag add the below snippet

<system.webServer>
  <defaultDocument>
      <files>
        <clear/>
        <add value="index.html"/>
      </files>
  </defaultDocument>
<system.webServer>

Publish your web Application and check once.

To edit the existing web.config , Go to kudu console in Azure Portal and edit.

We can set Default Documents option in Azure Portal.

After deploying your application to Azure.
Go to Azure Portal => Your Application => Configuration =>Default Documents
