Have you tries this method as mention here

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/azureossds/2015/04/23/converting-apache-htaccess-rules-to-iis-web-config-using-iis-manager-for-azure-websites/

also it is mention over here

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/azureossds/2015/09/28/convert-apache-htaccess-to-iis-web-config/

under the URL Rewriting section. It has the same .htaccess which I am using also there are many online converters to whom you can give a try

Answer 2

For your config file, try this article. It appears that your issue is on your action line.

<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />

Change that to:

<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />

The question mark is causing your issue. Also, your match line might be changed to:

<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />

That is a bit more specific and might prevent some headaches later on.
