Deploy App Under Sub-directory - Azure

Question

I have a microservices application in a sub folder of github repository. I am trying to deploy it to Azure.

I found that if I add .deployment file in my root directory, Azure will automatically deploy the application found under the given path. Here

I have tried the following,

[config]
project = myFlaskProject/helloFlask

Azure build the project successfully, but still it gives me You do not have permission to view this directory or page. Not sure why, any ideas?

P.S. It works fine if I keep all the application files in my root directory.

Here is the demo testing repository I have made. Hello World Flash Repo

And here is the live demo of the site.

Here are the build logs from Azure,
