docker cannot run because of "container no such file or directory"

[anthonyvialleton]

I'm unable to start my container after build and I got :

Error response from daemon: Cannot start container ogc-mysql: no such file or directory
Error: failed to start one or more containers

Here is my Docker file :

FROM ubuntu:latest

MAINTAINER Davin Kevin

# Install latest updates
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get upgrade -y

# Install mysql client and server
RUN apt-get -y install mysql-client mysql-server curl

# Enable remote access (default is localhost only, we change this
# otherwise our database would not be reachable from outside the container)
RUN sed -i -e"s/^bind-address\s*=\s*127.0.0.1/bind-address = 0.0.0.0/" /etc/mysql/my.cnf

# Install database
ADD ./database.sql /var/db/database.sql

# Set Standard settings
ENV user ogc
ENV password ogc
ENV url file:/var/db/database.sql
ENV right READ

# Install starting script
ADD ./start-database.sh /usr/local/bin/start-database.sh
RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/start-database.sh

EXPOSE 3306

CMD ["/usr/local/bin/start-database.sh"]

And my sh script only does :

cd "$(dirname "$BASH_SOURCE")";
docker build -t ogc-mysql .
docker run --name ogc-mysql -d -p 3306:3306 ogc-mysql

uname -a command returns :

docker info command returns :

The error message would seem to indicate that there is something missing in the container, which your image is attempting to run.

What does /usr/local/bin/start-database.sh look like?

[anthonyvialleton]

/usr/local/bin/start-database.sh doesn't exist..

[davinkevin]

The start-database.sh come from http://www.nkode.io/2014/09/12/easymysql.html

You can see what is inside it here : https://github.com/nkratzke/EasyMySQL/blob/master/start-database.sh

[davinkevin]

Problem solved, it was a line-ending problem in the sh files...

[duglin]

@davinkevin please close the issue if it is resolved.

[davinkevin]

I don't have the right to close the issue, @anthonyvialleton has to do it I think.

[duglin]

oops sorry - for some reason I thought you opened it - totally misread it :-)

[jdoliner]

Can anyone clarify what the line-ending problem was? I'm getting a similar behavior with a binary file and can't figure out how to fix it.

for anyone else ending up here from google.. I edited my docker file on a windows machine but the cryptic error message Error response from daemon: Cannot start container 4684e235133a0393292cd39f5b875ba8597e21ad2b4360ddbb172b297fa733d8: [8] System error: no such file or directory turned out to be a line ending issue as described in this post.

I removed all new lines at end of file and changed line endings in sublime text view -> line endings -> unix, previously it was set to windows.
