Apache docker container - Invalid command 'RewriteEngine'

Question

I use docker compose. However, when I run \"docker-compose up\", I came across an error : /var/www/html/.htaccess: Invalid command \'RewriteEngine\'.

Can you tell me

Answer 1

This works for me:

# Dockerfile
FROM php:5.6-apache

MAINTAINER Raphael Mäder <me@randm.ch>

RUN a2enmod rewrite

ADD . /var/www/html

Don't forget to run your docker-compose up command with --build if you have already built the image previously, otherwise it will run the old image which may have not included the RUN a2enmod rewrite statement.

Answer 2

Add this to your Dockerfile:

# Enable mod_rewrite for images with apache
RUN if command -v a2enmod >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
        a2enmod rewrite headers \
    ;fi
