How to override appsettings.json values in Azure app service for an application deployed in Virtual path

Question

I have a .NET 8 application deployed to the Azure app service as a Virtual application along with another application in the root folder.

I was able to overwrite the application settings for the root application but not to the virtual application.

I was not able to find any documentation related to this.

Answer 1

I am able to override the application settings of both Root and Virtual App.

Virtual Path:

• I haven't done any changes in the code.

Environment Variables:

• Try to retrieve the settings in .cshtml file.

Root Application:

@inject IConfiguration myconfig;
<h3>@myconfig["ParentSetting"]</h3>

Child App:

@inject IConfiguration myconfig;
 <h3>@myconfig["ChildSetting"]</h3>
 <h3>@myconfig["ParentSetting"]</h3>

I was not able to find any documentation related to this.

There is no such documentation related to override Virtual App Settings.

• You can refer this SOThread on how to deploy and work with Virtual Apps.

• Make sure you haven't set environment as Development in Web.config(if you have any) or in deployed appsettings.json file.

• Also refer this to override appsettings.json for the Azure App Service.
