title: Area routes not working in ASP.NET Core MVC when deploying on Azure
body: <p>When running the app locally, all routing works fine. But when publishing to Azure, only the non-Area controllers work (such as "Home" and "Account"), the area-routes return 404.</p>
  
  <p>Startup.cs has the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>routes.MapRoute("areaRoute", "{area:exists}/{controller}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>project.json has dependencies (amongst others):</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "type": "platform"
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and frameworks:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"netcoreapp1.0": {
        "imports": [
          "dotnet5.6",
          "portable-net45+win8"
        ]
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and publishOptions:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"include": [
        "wwwroot",
        "Views",
        "Areas/**/Views",
        "appsettings.json",
        "web.config"
      ]
  </code></pre>
