About ten years ago Dmitry Koterov created the excellent project under the name Denwer.
Denwer contained all necessary for local development for PHP (Apache, PHP + mods, Mysql, sendmail, etc) and in due time it was very popular and demanded. Over time it, as well as the majority of projects, was abandoned (the latest actual version on the website - PHP 5.3.13), and the approaches offered them in the organization of development for PHP strongly became outdated since then.
This project is an attempt to recreate a complex containing everything you need to develop in PHP, but using modern tools, while maintaining ease of use and ease of installation (hmm ..).
Denwer 5 contains ready-to-work components:
- nginx
- php-fpm 7.2 (apcu, curl, mbstring, mysqli, opcache, pdo_mysql, memcached, redis, zip, xdebug)
- composer
- git
- MySQL 5.6
- adminer
- redis 4.0
- memcache 4.6.3

Docker Toolbox for Windows - for Windows 7, 8, 10 Home
Select all optional components. (Full Installation):
+ Docker Compose
+ VirtualBox
+ Kitematic
+ Git for Windows
> Create desktop shortcuts!
Docker for Windows - for Windows 10 Professional, Enterprise
Read the instructions carefully!
You will need to enable support for Hyper-V, after which VMs will not be able to start in VirtualBox
before disabling Hyper-V.
If you are not sure or use VirtualBox - use Docker Toolbox for Windows above.
Docker Toolbox for macOS - for macOS
Important for WINDOWS Users
Due to Docker Toolbox for Windows’s access restrictions to the host’s file system,
Work is possible only from the current user's home directory!
For example, you can clone the repository in [C:/Users/$USER/Denwer],
where $USER is your Windows username.
To simplify further explanations, we will install Denwer into the Denwer folder,
and our Windows username is User.
Full installation path: C:/Users/User/Denwer
P.S. There is a way to get around this limitation and install Denwer in an arbitrary directory (see Transfer Denwer to drive D).
-
Launch "Docker Quickstart Terminal" from the desktop.
The first launch can be long, because VM is created in VirtualBox -
Go to the Denwer folder
# absolute path is similar to unix format /drive/dir1/dir2/....
cd /c/Users/User/Denwer
# or
cd ~/Denwer- run Denwer (the first start will be long, the custom docker's PHP-image is built)
docker-compose up -d- Launch "Docker Quickstart Terminal" from the desktop.
- Go to the Denwer folder
cd /c/Users/User/Denwer- Check status of the containers
docker-compose ps- All containers are up and running. (State = Up).
Name Command State Ports

denwer_adminer entrypoint.sh docker-php-e ... Up 0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp

If something is not working - see troubleshooting
- Go to
http://192.168.99.100in the browser - We see the output of the test PHP script, which is trying to connect MySQL, Redis and Memcache
/var/www/projects/default/public/index.php:8:string '2018-10-03 12:42:33' (length=19)
/var/www/projects/default/public/index.php:14:int 1538570553
/var/www/projects/default/public/index.php:20:string '1538570553' (length=10)
- If nothing works, then Denwer received a different IP address (not 192.168.99.100).
See how to find the Denwer's external IP
Denwer 5 supports multi-project!
Read more about Denwer's multi-project
- Launch "Docker Quickstart Terminal" from the desktop.
- Go to the Denwer folder
cd /c/Users/User/Denwer- Stop Denwer
docker-compose down- Check status of the containers
docker-compose ps- None running container
Name Command State Ports
------------------------------
-
./etc
Here are the configs of components that are forwarded to the inside of the container (for example, nginx.conf, php.ini).
After configs change you need to restart Denwer! -
./var
Permanent storage for stateful containers (DB). You can safely delete all files (except the .gitkeep file) inside themysqlorredisfolders, it will reset the database and force Denwer initialize it empty again (first stop Denwer, then delete files, then start Denwer). -
./env
Environment files that are bound in containers. -
./home
Here are your PHP projects. (see. How to place and run php code) -
./docker-compose.yml
Description of all project containers for Docker Compose.
Denwer offers two approaches for placing PHP code inside:
- Multiple-projects with domain support for each project
- Single-project with IP access
- Put all your files in
./home/default - Your site will be accessible by IP
http://192.168.99.100(if not working - Denwer got another IP, see how to find the Denwer's external IP ) - Note that
index.phpshould be located in thepublicsubfolder, not at the root! (good:./home/default/public/index.php)
- Each folder inside
./homeis a project and is available by the name of the form*.denwer(for example, the default projectdefault, which is located in./home/defaultis available athttp://default.denwer/) - You need to add an entry for the
default.denwerdomain to the fileC:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostson your PC
192.168.99.100 default.denwer
192.168.99.100 project1.denwer
192.168.99.100 project2.denwer
- Instead of
192.168.99.100use your Denwer external IP (how to find the Denwer's external IP) - By default, the file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsis write-protected. Use google to unlock :)
- Stop Denwer
- Switch off default docker machine
docker-machine stop default- Copy Denwer to new location:
- Old location:
C:\Users\User\Denwer - New location:
D:\Denwer(you can choose any location)
- Old location:
- Open VirtualBox, go to Settings of Docker VM (named default)
- Go to
Shared foldersconfig and add a new Shared folder:- Path:
D:\Denwer - Name:
d/Denwer - Auto mount: yes
- Path:
- Note that
Namemust repeatPathconsidering the features of mapping the path of Windows to Linux:E:\Work\PurpleGames\Denwer=>e/Work/PurpleGames/DenwerD:\SomeFolder\DENWER=>d/SomeFolder/DENWER
- Start default Docker Machine
docker-machine start default- Run Denwer
If something is not work - see Troubleshooting
- Launch "Docker Quickstart Terminal" from the desktop.
- Display a list of docker-machines
docker-machine ls- Look at the IP in the URL column (in my case IP = 192.168.99.100):
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM DOCKER ERRORS
default * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.100:2376 v18.06.1-ce
- Go to
http://192.168.99.100
@todo
- Go to
http://192.168.99.100:8080. (see MySQL credentials). - If it does not open, then Denwer has another IP (how to find the Denwer's external IP)
Nowhere. Use Adminer.
- See
./home/default/index.php, is an example to connect for MySQL, Redis and Memcached. - If example is lost, use credentials:
Mysql:
host=mysql
port=3306
user=root
pass=root
Redis:
host=redis
port=6379
Memcached:
host=memcached
port=11211
