apache and php in seperate containers on ubuntu

I have pulled apache and php-fpm:alpine images into docker-compose.yml as services and trying to connect between these two containers but failed to do so. It says requested URL was not found on the server. I could clearly understand that somewhere the path is misconfigured but I have been struggling to identify it for 2 days. I even created www.conf and configured in volumes so that the php container will be connected but of no use. Any help is greatly appreciated. docker-compose.yml file

There are no error logs except curl commandn

# curl http://php.virtualhosting:9000
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
Solution

  • For starters you have the wrong path to the apache config directory in the docker-compose.yml file:

    ...
    volumes:
      - ./conf/httpd.conf:/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
      - ./conf/sites:/usr/local/apache2/conf/sites
...

    Then in the configuration file for the apache you need to load all the necessary modules.

    httpd.conf:

    ...
LoadModule authz_core_module modules/mod_authz_core.so
LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so
...

    and lastly the configuration file for the site should be corrected.

    one.website.conf:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName one.website
DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/one.website

<Directory /var/www/sites/one.website>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://php:9000"
</FilesMatch>

ErrorLog /usr/local/apache2/one_error.log
CustomLog /usr/local/apache2/one_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

    Now you should be able to run curl on http://one.website:8081
