nibrev/php-5.3-apache repository overview

⁠PHP 5.3 Apache

PHP 5.3 reached EOL⁠ on 14 Aug 2014 and thus, official docker support was dropped⁠. Use only for legacy projects that's can run only PHP 5.3

⁠How to use this image.

⁠Without a Dockerfile

If you don't want to include a Dockerfile in your project, it is sufficient to do the following:

docker run -it --rm --name my_blog -v "$PWD":/var/www/html nibrev/php-5.3-apache

This image contains Debian's Apache httpd in conjunction with PHP (as mod_php) and uses mpm_prefork by default.

⁠Apache with a Dockerfile

FROM nibrev/php-5.3-apache
COPY src/ /var/www/html/

Where src/ is the directory containing all your PHP code. Then, run the commands to build and run the Docker image:

$ docker build -t my-php-app .
$ docker run -d --name my-running-app my-php-app

We recommend that you add a php.ini configuration file; see the "Configuration" section for details.

⁠Apache without a Dockerfile

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name my-apache-php-app -v "$PWD":/var/www/html nibrev/php-5.3-apache

⁠Changing DocumentRoot (or other Apache configuration)

Some applications may wish to change the default DocumentRoot in Apache (away from /var/www/html). The following demonstrates one way to do so using an environment variable (which can then be modified at container runtime as well):

FROM nibrev/php-5.3-apache

ENV APACHE_DOCUMENT_ROOT /path/to/new/root

RUN sed -ri -e 's!/var/www/html!${APACHE_DOCUMENT_ROOT}!g' /etc/apache2/sites-available/*.conf
RUN sed -ri -e 's!/var/www/!${APACHE_DOCUMENT_ROOT}!g' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/*.conf

⁠Installing modules

To install additional modules use a Dockerfile like this:

FROM nibrev/php-5.3-apache

# Installs curl
RUN docker-php-ext-install curl

Then build the image:

$ docker build -t my-php .

⁠Configuration

This image ships with the default php.ini-development⁠ and php.ini-production⁠ configuration files.

It is strongly recommended to use the production config for images used in production environments!

The default config can be customized by copying configuration files into the $PHP_INI_DIR/conf.d/ directory.

⁠php.ini change example

FROM nibrev/php-5.3-apache

# Use the default production configuration
RUN mv "$PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini-production" "$PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini"

The default Apache2 virtual host configuration file is /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf, you can replace it by overwriting via Dockerfile or direct mounting external file.

⁠Mounting example

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name my-apache-php-app -v "$PWD/vhost.conf":/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf nibrev/php-5.3-apache
