<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Rule" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
      <conditions>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
        <add input="{URL}" pattern="^/favicon.ico$" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
      </conditions>

You can try following steps:

Open the folder “application/config” and open the file “config.php“. find and replace the below code in config.php file.

//find the below code   
$config['index_page'] = "index.php" 
//replace with the below code
$config['index_page'] = ""

Then find the if you have the code $config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO" change to $config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"

You content of web.config should be fine, and when you modify the file, you need to restart the Azure Web Apps Server.

Removing index.php from the url is something that must be done with htaccess, go to the root of your application and create a new file called ".htaccess" and input the following:

 Options +FollowSymLinks
 RewriteEngine On

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
