Apache docket container not starting using docker-compose up


I'm working on a use case to create a Docker container for an apache server for a CMS application.

Below is the folder structure for the docket container.

apache-rproxy-docker (folder)
  -docker-compose.yml
  - httpd (folder)
     - Dockerfile
     - httpd.conf

docker-compose.yml

version: '2.1'

services:
  apache:
    build: httpd/
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    networks:
      - my_network
    restart: always

networks:
  my_network:
    driver: bridge

Dockerfile

FROM httpd:2.4
COPY ./httpd.conf /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

httpd.conf

Listen 80

ServerName localhost:80
ServerAdmin admin@localhost

ErrorLog logs/error.log

# Check last part of httpd.conf for the Apache base and 'Web-Developer' *.conf files that are included.

I have a couple of issues which are holding me back,

  1. While I'm able to build the container with no issue, but when trying to up the container using "docker-compose up", the container starts and terminates instantaneously without any errors.
  2. I don't see the port mapping for the container, which is odd.

Below is the output on executing docker inspect container_id.

I'm working on the docker for the first time. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks!


Solution

  • OK, I was able to reproduce your issue using the files you provided. It's weird that you're not getting more info in the logs. But here's how I debugged it:

    1. The fact that the status is restarting is bad - it means your container isn't staying up. I removed the restart: always line, but got the same result.

    2. Let's narrow down the problem some more. I built your Dockerfile and ran it by running the following commands in the httpd directory: docker build -t apache-rproxy:latest . && docker run --rm -p 80:80 apache-rproxy:latest. Unfortunately, I got the same error with no additional logs.

    3. Let's debug some more. Try the same command with the official httpd image: docker run --rm -p 80:80 httpd:2.4. Notice that this time, httpd starts and begins logging, and the container remains alive.

    Now, the only difference between the httpd:2.4 image and the apache-rproxy:latest image is your config file. So you something in your httpd.conf is preventing apache from starting (or even logging anything). Work out what the problem is there and I think you'll have a working setup.
