Empty reply from server

[martinvol]

Hello, I did all the steps of the official docker tutorial for Wordpress and it worked just fine in my local system.

But when I tried to deploy it on my server, doing exactly the same I got:

$ curl localhost:8005 curl: (52) Empty reply from server

The only thing I changed is the forwarded port, resulting in this docker compose file:

version: '2'
services:
  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    volumes:
      - "./.data/db:/var/lib/mysql"
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: wordpress
      MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
      MYSQL_USER: wordpress
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress

  wordpress:
    depends_on:
      - db
    image: wordpress:latest
    links:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8005:80"
    restart: always
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress

any clues?

WordPress cares very much about the url used to access it. If you had already accessed that same WordPress with port 8080 then it will refuse to respond to any other url.

• if you care about the data in mysql (ie made posts and such), then you'll need to go through changing your wordpress url or find a tool that does it for you
• if you don't care about the data, then a docker-compose rm -fv and a rm -rf ./.data/db followed by docker-compose up -d should do the trick
