Overriding php.ini settings doesn’t seem to work about docker-php-fpm-5.4 HOT 5 CLOSED

How are you using this docker container. It could be possible that the webserver use php config directives that cannot be overwritten: See this for details:

Can you show me your webserver config?

Thanks for the quick reply! I don’t think this is the reason - there are no php_value/php_flag instances in the entire repo. Here is the Dockerfile for Apache:

FROM httpd:latest
RUN echo "Include conf/site.conf" >> /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
RUN sed -i 's/^#LoadModule proxy_http_module /LoadModule proxy_http_module /g' /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
RUN sed -i 's/^#LoadModule proxy_module /LoadModule proxy_module /g' /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
RUN sed -i 's/^#LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module /LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module /g' /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
RUN sed -i 's/^#LoadModule rewrite_module /LoadModule rewrite_module /g' /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

The vhost config is very standard, it just forwards requests for .php files to the PHP-FPM container:

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

The PHP-FPM container config (using docker-compose) is also pretty standard, it mostly just mounts some files/folders:

  php:
    build:
      context: ./support/docker/php
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    volumes:
      - ./:/srv/www/html/current
      - ./support/srv-data:/srv/www/data
      - ./support/docker/php/ini:/etc/php-custom.d
      - ./support/docker/php/php-fpm.conf:/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf
    links:
      - mysql

So I’m really not sure why this won’t work. phpinfo() specifically lists the override file in the "Additional .ini files parsed" section.

Can you confirm that you are able to actually override something using a custom php.ini, not just in theory?

Hmm, some additional info. It actually does work for some other settings. I tried setting some random setting from the output of phpinfo(), specifically upload_tmp_dir, and that worked!

So for some reason error_reporting and display_errors don’t work, but others do. Color me confused...

from docker-php-fpm-5.4.

Figured it out.

The two ini-settings I was struggling with are overridden in php-fpm.conf, so I had to override them again from my PHP-FPM config override:

In the PHP-FPM part of docker-compose.yml:

- ./support/docker/php/php-fpm.conf:/etc/php-fpm.d/local.conf

And in ./support/docker/php/php-fpm.conf:

[www]

php_value[error_reporting] = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR
php_flag[display_errors] = Off

👍 good catch. Enjoy your setup
