Unable to send php7.3 fpm-alpine error logs to std within docker containers

I cannot get the php-fpm error logs appear in docker std. So far I've tried many suggestions but for some reason no progress at all. I am posting my whole setup so that someone could kindly help me to right direction. All I see is app_php_1 | 172.21.0.7 - 06/Apr/2019:12:26:37 +0000 "GET /index.php" 500

WHAT I TRIED

I tried these independently from each other/file, not all in one go.

  • Changed /proc/self/fd/2 to /dev/stdout//dev/stderr for error_log and access.log properties in /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/docker.conf file.

  • Added code below at the bottom of www.conf file.

catch_workers_output = yes
php_flag[display_errors] = off
php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on
php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php-fpm-error.log
php_admin_value[error_log] = /dev/stdout
php_admin_value[error_log] = /dev/stderr
  • Some more but I lost track of it.

This seems to be working now. I simplified in this example to keep it easy on the eye.

I answered this myself but still upvote for your full solution :+1

Hi Bent, any luck with this issue? I’m having a similar issue so I can’t debug where is the application crashed

I postponed for a while so I’ll go back to it one day.

@trinvh Check answer below please.
