How do I run Apache server from Docker without mapping to a location

Question

Docker Image: has apache; has an HTML file in the apache root.

How can I access that file form the browser? (when I run the image)

I tried:

docker run -d -p 8080:80 myimage/myimage

When I use the docker ps I get to see the port as 0.0.0.0:8080->80/tcp but as it open I  get HTTP ERROR 500 0.0.0.0:8080 or localhost:8080

Comments

Open port 8080 in ec2 security group

Answer 1

What you can do is first login to docker container and start the apache server

docker exec -it container_id /bin/bash

service apache2 restart

Then from browser access using : http://localhost:8080

I hope it will resolve your query.

If you're seeing a 500 error, that's Apache responding, so the web server is already running.
