Azure ignores site config settings in ARM template -

i trying develop arm template deployment of multiple webapps, stuck trying configure webapp using settings available in microsoft.web/sites/config. whatever put in there, settings ignored when deploy webapp. i'm basing template on david ebbos example.

this trying @ moment:

// serverfarm (appservice) {     "apiversion": "2015-08-01",     "type": "microsoft.web/serverfarms",     "sku": {         "name": "b1",         "tier": "standard",         "size": "b1",         "family": "b",         "capacity": 1     },     "name": "[variables('appsvcname')]",     "location": "[resourcegroup().location]",     "tags": {         "project": "[[variables('webappname')]]"     },     "properties": {         "name": "[variables('appsvcname')]",         "numberofworkers": 1     } }, // site (webapp) {     "apiversion": "2015-08-01",     "type": "microsoft.web/sites",     "name": "[variables('webappname')]",     "location": "[resourcegroup().location]",     "tags": {         "project": "[[variables('webappname')]]"     },     "dependson": [         "[resourceid('microsoft.web/serverfarms', variables('appsvcname'))]"     ],     "properties": {         "serverfarmid": "[resourceid('microsoft.web/serverfarms', variables('appsvcname'))]",         "hostnames": [             "[concat(variables('webappname'), '.azurewebsites.net')]"         ],         "enabledhostnames": [             "[concat(variables('webappname'), '.azurewebsites.net')]",             "[concat(variables('webappname'), '.scm.azurewebsites.net')]"         ],         // todo : these resources ignored far         "resources": [             {                 "apiversion": "2015-08-01",                 "name": "web",                 "type": "microsoft.web/sites/config",                 "location": "[resourcegroup().location]",                 "dependson": [                     "[resourceid('microsoft.web/sites', variables('webappname'))]"                 ],                 "properties": {                     "phpversion": "",                     "netframeworkversion": "v4.6",                     "use32bitworkerprocess": false, /* 64-bit platform */                     "websocketsenabled": true,                     "alwayson": true,                     "requesttracingenabled": true, /* failed request tracing, aka 'freb' */                     "httploggingenabled": true, /* iis logs (aka web server logging) */                     "logsdirectorysizelimit": 40, /* 40 mb limit iis logs */                     "detailederrorloggingenabled": true, /* detailed error messages  */                     "remotedebuggingenabled": false,                     "remotedebuggingversion": "vs2015",                     "defaultdocuments": [                         "default.aspx",                         "default.htm",                         "default.html",                         "index.html",                         "hostingstart.html"                     ]                 }             },             {                 "apiversion": "2015-08-01",                 "name": "connectionstrings",                 "type": "microsoft.web/sites/config",                 "location": "[resourcegroup().location]",                 "dependson": [                     "[resourceid('microsoft.web/sites', variables('webappname'))]"                 ],                 "properties": {                     "umbracodbdsn": {                         "value": "[concat('data source=tcp:', reference(concat('microsoft.sql/servers/', variables('sqlservername'))).fullyqualifieddomainname, ',1433;initial catalog=', variables('sqldbname'), ';user id=', variables('appsvcname'), '@', variables('sqlservername'), ';password=e15co1ptir5dtq3zulwk;')]",                         "type": "sqlazure"                     }                 }             }         ]     } } 

one thing bit confused when run (get-azurermresourceprovider -providernamespace microsoft.web).resourcetypes in azure powershell console there no sites/config resourcetypename available.

what gives? have config resourcetype been removed template definitions? using wrong apiversion? have tried number of different combinations, no avail.

please see blog - http://wp.sjkp.dk/arm-templates-set-always-on-and-other-site-properties/

you need siteconfig object under resource.properties of web/config.
