Php: How to link custom apache2 config

[cwrm]

Hi, I have built a container with a Dockerfile from php:5.5.35-apache. I wonder where I have to place my apache2 conf Files with aliases, DocumentRoot and so on.

When I copy my conf to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ the container fails to start.

@cwrm Have you found a solution to this problem?

I'm having the exact same issue and found no correct solution.

Here are a few of my failed attempts:

• Mark the sites-enabled as a volume directory (in docker-compose.yml)
• 
  
  
  
  1. Set a custom directory in /etc/apache2 as a volume (in docker-compose.yml)
  
  
  2. Include the custom directory by adding a custom IncludeOptions command in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file

Can you share your Apache and docker-compose files? Perhaps you have a custom log directive pointing outside the APACHE_LOG_DIR?

docker-compose.yml

version: '2'
services:
    web:
        image: eyalshalev/php:apache
        ports:
            - "80:80"
        volumes:
            - "./docroot:/var/www/html"
            - "./apache2/vhosts:/etc/apache2/from-host"
    db:
        image: mariadb
        environment:
            MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
            MYSQL_DATABASE: sandbox
    pma:
        image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
        ports:
            - "8009:8009"
    composer:
        image: composer/composer
        volumes_from:
            - web
        working_dir: /var/www/html

Dockerfile (eyalshalev/php:apache)

FROM php:7.0-apache

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
        libfreetype6-dev \
        libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
        libmcrypt-dev \
        libpng12-dev \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) iconv mcrypt \
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd

 RUN mkdir -p  /etc/apache2/from-host

 RUN echo "" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf \
    && echo "# Include the configurations from the host machine" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf \
    && echo "IncludeOptional from-host/*.conf" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Not sure what you mean by an Apache file?

I think that the problem might be from the conf file I'm trying to add:

100-default.conf

<VirtualHost docker-machine:80>
    # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
    # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
    # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
    # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
    # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
    # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
    # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
    #ServerName www.example.com

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html

    # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
    # error, crit, alert, emerg.
    # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
    # modules, e.g.
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
    # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
    # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
    # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
    # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
    #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf

    <Directory /var/www/html>
        AllowOverride All
        AccessFileName .htaccess 
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

@yosifkit @cwrm Sorry that I've bothered you, the problem was with my configuration files.

I managed to find and fix it using the docker-compose logs command.

This appears to be solved (so I'm going to close)! /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ is definitely an appropriate place to copy this sort of configuration, just as in a stock Debian Apache installation. :+1:
