PHP-Apache Setup Guide

Introduction

This guide outlines the steps to set up a Docker container running an Apache server with PHP. This combination is widely used for web development and hosting PHP-based applications.

Prerequisites

  • Docker installed
  • PHP-Apache container running in your Docker stack

Configuration Steps

Step 1: Copying the default config files before first run

docker run --rm -v /share/Docker/GillisDockerDepot/appdata/php-apache/apache2:/apache2 httpd:2.4 bash -c 'cp -r /usr/local/apache2/conf/* /apache2/'
docker run --rm -v /share/Docker/GillisDockerDepot/appdata/php-apache/apache2:/apache2 php:apache bash -c 'cp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /apache2/'

Step 2: Copying your website files into the container

copy your html files into /share/Docker/GillisDockerDepot/appdata/php-apache/var/www/html

Step 3: Create config files

docker exec -it php-apache-<name> bash -c "cat > /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf <<- 'EOF'
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    <Directory /var/www/html>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog \${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog \${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
EOF"

docker exec -it php-apache-<name> ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

docker exec -it php-apache-<name> bash -c "echo 'LoadModule mime_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mime.so' >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf"

docker exec -it php-apache-<name> bash -c "cat > /var/www/html/.htaccess <<- 'EOF'
AddType text/html .html
AddType text/css .css
AddType application/javascript .js
DirectoryIndex index.html
EOF"

docker exec -it php-apache-<name> bash -c "cat >> /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf <<- 'EOF'
AddType text/html .html
AddType text/css .css
AddType application/javascript .js
DirectoryIndex index.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
EOF"

docker exec -it php-apache-<name> apachectl restart

docker exec -it php-apache-<name> apachectl configtest

find /pathtodata/GillisDockerDepot/appdata/php-apache-<name>/var/www/html/assets/img/portfolio -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find /pathtodata/GillisDockerDepot/appdata/php-apache-<name>/var/www/html/assets/img/portfolio -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
