I have a flask app running through IIS 10. wfastcgi loaded into app folder. app file is app.py. I cannot figure out how wfastcgi is pointing to the app.py file? I had a web.config file in the same folder. All it contained was:

<configuration>
</configuration>

I deleted that file, website still works. I do not have any other web.config files that I know of. How does wfastcgi.py know about the app.py file? If I remove the app.py file I get this web error: Error occurred while reading WSGI handler:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  • Not a surprise as IIS hierarchical configuration system allows elements to live in upper level (such as `applicationHost.config`). Since you are using FastCGI, you can find all related settings in IIS Manager easily. – Lex Li Jun 12 '22 at 00:25
