Azurewebsite django URL rewrite for another application - django

Question

I've installed wordpress in Azurewebsites which is primarily running Django. I've set up an application as /blog to /site/wwwroot/blog in application setting.
But web.config is not serving the url www.example.com/blog instead it's throwing 404 error.
Here's the web.config, could you suggest how to disable rewrite for www.example.com/blog

According to your description, I suggest you could try to add a not match condition in the rules.
If the url's target is blob folder, then it will not be rewrite.
More details, you could refer to below config.
<rule name="Configure Python" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/static/.*" ignoreCase="true" negate="true" />
<add input="{URL}" pattern="^/blog/.*" ignoreCase="true" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="handler.fcgi/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
The result is like below:
