Laradock (docker) keeps throwing http error 500

No matter what I try, I keep getting HTTP error code 500 when I visit my docker-machine ip.

I am running laradock through Docker tool box (OS: Windows 10) and have a default VM running. I have setup laradock as per the instructions in the video.

I have successfully mounted the folder that I need into the VM and have changed docker-compose.yml according to the location of my code in the VM:

Here is my docker-compose.yml file:

version: '2'

When I log into the workspace and change files, they are reflected into the host machine, so I am good on that front.

Here is my folder structure in my work container (just as per the video):

root@d463d55e545b:/var/www/laravel# ls -l

All nginx.conf files etc are being loaded into the container as I can see from docker exec -it into my nginx container.

For reference, here is my laravel.conf

server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

root /var/www/laravel/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;

server_name laravel.dev www.laravel.dev;

location / {
     try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri /index.php =404;
    fastcgi_pass php-upstream;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
}

location ~ /\.ht {
    deny all;
}

}

and nginx.conf:

user www-data; worker_processes 4; pid /run/nginx.pid;

events { worker_connections 2048; multi_accept on; use epoll; }

http { server_tokens off; sendfile on; tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on; keepalive_timeout 15; types_hash_max_size 2048; client_max_body_size 20M; include /etc/nginx/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; access_log on; error_log on; gzip on; gzip_disable "msie6"; include /etc/nginx/conf.d/.conf; include /etc/nginx/sites-available/; open_file_cache max=100; }

daemon off;

And here is my laravel's root directory's .env file:

APP_ENV=local APP_DEBUG=true APP_KEY=SomeRandomString APP_URL=http://localhost

DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=192.168.99.100 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=homestead DB_USERNAME=homestead DB_PASSWORD=secret

CACHE_DRIVER=file SESSION_DRIVER=file QUEUE_DRIVER=sync

REDIS_HOST=192.168.99.100 REDIS_PASSWORD=null REDIS_PORT=6379

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io MAIL_PORT=2525 MAIL_USERNAME=null MAIL_PASSWORD=null MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

I have also setup the permissions of the folder by logging into the workspace container and typing:

chmod -R 777 storage bootstrap/cache

But still I keep getting the http 500 error on docker-machine ip. What am I missing?

Are you sure you are using the right docker-machine ip? – enderland
Yes. I ran docker-machine ip default to get my IP address. – stirredo

A potential problem I see is that you use IP addresses for your service hosts (DB_HOST, REDIS_HOST) in your .env. Potentially these IP addresses can change and it is therefore safer to use the container names as host address. In your case youll want to use "DB_HOST=mysql" and "REDIS_HOST=redis".

The http 500 means there is probably nothing wrong with your nginx config and sounds more like a Laravel configuration problem. I suggest you inspect your laravel log file (storage/logs/laravel.log) for more information.
