Azure WebApp URL rewrite not working for Laravel 5.2

I have a Laravel 5.2 application running on an Azure Webapp. Everything works fine on the local environment. I uploaded from a local git repo, installed the vendor files with composer and loaded the home page, but this is all that works. When trying to visit any other url I get the following message:

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I am unable to get url rewrite or custom error codes to work, its as if no settings are recognised but if there is an error in the web.config file it returns an error. I have placed the web.config file in the public folder and set this path in the settings on Azure. The web.config file I am currently using can be found here: http://ift.tt/1JFGCSQ

What am I doing wrong?

Also is there a comprehensive tutorial on the web.config file?
