docker for php5.3 on centos image

Question

I want to run legacy php 5.3 apps on centos 7. Since there is no php 5.3 build on centos 7, docker container looks like a preferred option. I referred to this article to build a docker container but I am unable to access the php web pages from port 9003 in local host. The following are places where I may need help.

1. There was an issue with using sockets in line 1 of the script, so I just deleted this line
2. The container runs fine but when I run localhost:9003 on the browser I am not able to serve php pages from /var/www/html

I want to have apache and php files on local and only want to run php on the container..

help is greatly appreciated

Answer 1

The container runs fine but when I run localhost:9003 on the browser I am not able to serve php pages from /var/www/html

You need to expose the ports by adding -p 9003:9003 to the run command.

Answer 2

Try run docker with network parameter like --network=<NETWORK> . looking for available network use command docker network ls .

i advise to use the bridge network mode:

docker --network=bridge
