WordPress domain mapping and config ? about docker-dev

[mcnamee]

Hi @jehanf
my-site.localhost, my-site.php72.localhost and my-site.php74.localhost - all should just work (mapping to the respective PHP version). If there's a redirect in place - it's likely to either be a .htaccess redirect (in your repo) or PHP (Wordpress) redirecting.

There's no redirects in place with the Docker environment.

As Matt suggested above, the simplest fix would be to change or remove the HTTP redirect that is happening. Most likely that means updating the site's URL in the wp_options table.

I wouldn't recommend it, but if you wanted to force Docker Dev to use a specific hostname and PHP combination you could always manually edit the Apache config. Perhaps find one of the Virtual Host blocks that is roughly what you'e after, copy-paste to the top of the file (so it takes precedence), and adjust it to suit.

Run docker-compose up -d once you've made the changes to activate them.

Example Config

# ...

# Custom PHP 7.2 website
<VirtualHost *:*>
    ServerName my-site.localhost                      # Only use these rules if your domain is found

    UseCanonicalName Off
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/my-site         # Hard-code the site name/folder here

    <FilesMatch "\.php$">
      SetHandler proxy:fcgi://php72-fpm:9000          # Force it to use PHP 7.2 here
    </FilesMatch>
</VirtualHost>
