====== Installing Dokuwiki on Microsoft Azure Web App Service ======

DokuWiki runs just fine on Microsoft Azure Web App Service.  Once you have created a web site you can upload via SFTP to the wwwroot and run the install.php script.

===== Securing Sensitive Folders =====
Before you get too far into production it makes sense to secure the bin, conf, data, and inc folders as suggested in the security guidelines.  To do so create a web.config file with the following contents and upload it to the wwwroot folder:

<code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
   <system.webServer>
      <security>
         <requestFiltering>
            <hiddenSegments>
               <add segment="conf" />
               <add segment="data" />
               <add segment="inc" />
            </hiddenSegments>
         </requestFiltering>
      </security>
   </system.webServer>
</configuration>
</code>

Note that "bin" is not included in the list as it is already included in the protected folder list by IIS.
