How can I solve 403:Forbidden whilst using a docker container?


I'm new to Docker and currently following this tutorial:

Learn Docker in 12 minutes

I created the necessary files and I made it up to display "Hello World!" on localhost:80.

Beyond that point, I tried to mount the container using the direct reference to my folder so I can update the index.php file to mimic the development evironment, and then I come with this error:

Forbidden

All I did is change the way the image is ran so I can update the content of the index.php file and see the changes reflect in the webpage when I hit F5.

Currently using Docker for Windows on Windows 10 Pro

Docker for Windows is running

I followed every steps scrupulously so I don't get myself fooled and it didn't work for me it seems.

To answer Mornor's question, here is the result for docker ps

docker ps

And here for docker logs [container-name]

docker logs ae

And since I now better understand what happens under the hood, how do I go to solve my problem illustrated in the log?

Here is my Dockfile

Dockerfile

And the command I executed to run my image:

docker run -p 80:80 -v /wmi/tutorials/docker/src/:/var/www/html/ hello-world

And so you see that the file exists:

path to index.php


Solution

  • I think you're wrongly mouting your index.php. What you could do to debug it, is to firstly check if the index.php is indeed mounted within the container.
    You could issue the following command :

    docker run -p 80:80 -v /wmi/tutorials/docker/src/:/var/www/html/ hello-world bash -c 'ls -lsh /var/www/html/'
    

    (use sh instead of bash if it does not work). If you can indeed see a index.php, then congratulations your file is correctly mounted, and the error is not coming from Docker, but from Apache.

    If index.php is not there, then you have to check your Dockerfile. You mount src/, check if /src is in the same directory as your Dockerfile.
