ALERT: [pool www] user has not been defined #206

michalhlavka · 2020-07-07T13:30:01Z

Hi, I am starting container from FROM thecodingmachine/php:7.4-v3-fpm and getting

php_1       | [07-Jul-2020 13:22:56] ALERT: [pool www] user has not been defined

At the local machine, everything is right but on the server, it's failing.

Any advice? One week I am trying to figure it out, what is wrong. Thank you.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

The user is really not defined in /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf this also applies to 7.1 images as well please fix it.

Temporary solution is to get the /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf out of the container, modify it by uncommenting the user = www-data line and then overwrite it e.g. in docker compose

DepkaCZ · 2020-09-24T18:29:33Z

Hmm, my previous post is only partial solution as I'm getting error when trying to install new composer packages :

Cannot create cache directory /home/docker/.composer/cache/repo/https---repo.packagist.org/, or directory is not writable. Proceeding without cache

I've tried to change group/user to docker/docker as stated in readme but without any luck :/

beejaz · 2020-10-01T19:34:06Z

We have the same error since recently. Trying to load thecodingmachine/php:7.4-v3-slim-fpm on a fresh computer without previous installation/cache gives this:

I've solved it by disabling WSL support in Docker for windows

beejaz · 2020-10-04T18:31:56Z

Thats strange. I get this error on a Linux host that has nothing to do with Docker for Windows also.

moufmouf · 2020-10-05T08:20:28Z

Hey guys,

Could you explain me how to reproduce this problem (on a Linux host if possible)?

Because right now, I don't know how to generate this error.

$ docker run thecodingmachine/php:7.4-v3-fpm
[05-Oct-2020 08:17:27] NOTICE: fpm is running, pid 3338
[05-Oct-2020 08:17:27] NOTICE: ready to handle connections
[05-Oct-2020 08:17:27] NOTICE: systemd monitor interval set to 10000ms

I'm looking at a way to add a breaking test before trying to solve this issue.

beejaz · 2020-10-06T08:17:39Z

Hi @moufmouf

It worked on all my hosts that has previous cache (or something) from your image even if i choose --no-cache option. But when I use a fresh new VM with Linux (Ubuntu) it didnt work.

I tried to replicate this, again, today on a fresh machine and now it works for me. I will test on one of the old hosts that didnt work. Ill get back.

michalhlavka · 2020-10-06T12:40:33Z

With docker run thecodingmachine/php:7.4-v3-fpm everything it's ok.

But when I use docker-compose along with nginx, it's again

This solved it for me as well.

beejaz · 2020-10-15T18:20:15Z

This started to work out of nowhere for me 👍 Both on Linux hosts and WSL2 host with docker for windows

DepkaCZ · 2021-01-18T12:10:41Z

Still not working for me :/

Happening to me too, windows 10, using WSL.

Arent you trying to run the docker compose from windows shell ? I found that you must run it from wsl shell čt 8. 4. 2021 v 19:14 odesílatel Matěj Račinský ***@***.***> napsal:

Thanks, I'll try it. Unfortunately, running it from wsl shell causes me docker/compose#7899

seams that did it. however the cause for this would be good to understand

leekung · 2021-06-19T19:35:16Z

Here is what I fix this issue
I replace all 3 pools with this

in docker-compose file

  php8:
    image: "thecodingmachine/php:8.0-v4-fpm-node14"
    volumes:
      - ./htdocs:/var/www/htdocs
      - ./docker.conf:/etc/php/8.0/fpm/pool.d/docker.conf
      - ./www.conf:/etc/php/8.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
      - ./zz-docker.conf:/etc/php/8.0/fpm/pool.d/zz-docker.conf

www.conf and zz-docker.conf is empty file
docker.conf is custom pool with user, group defined. example

[global]
daemonize = no

[docker]
user = docker
group = docker
listen = 9000
listen.owner = root
listen.group = docker
access.log = /proc/self/fd/2
catch_workers_output = yes
decorate_workers_output = no

Today I checked again whether it could be done.
I also tried that from @leekung . Unfortunately, I just can't get it to work.

The developers don't seem to care about the issues at the moment because it has been open for a long time.

Who can recommend an alternative Docker image with phpFPM and Crontab.

How does it go on here?
Not much happening here lately?

mistraloz · 2022-05-08T08:55:26Z

Yes yes... it's difficult currently. I should have more time soon. In addition, if someone would like help us to manage thoses images, s/he can contact me (we will continue to support but sometime we have less time so someone in backup maybe helpful).

alexmaurer-madis · 2022-05-11T11:49:12Z

I had similar issue and found why.

The message was the following :

ALERT: [pool www] user has not been defined
ALERT: [pool www] user has not been defined
ERROR: failed to post process the configuration
ERROR: failed to post process the configuration
ERROR: FPM initialization failed

My container was created with Portainer and the user field under Command and Logging has been set automatically to "root" instead of "nobody".

The user has already been specified in the Dockerfile with
USER nobody

So you can leave the field under portainer empty, it will be automatically assigned to nobody

Or run your container with --user=nobody (i didn't try this method)

got the exact same error, I used a script to build the dockercontainer turned out I accidentally left --user=root in my build command...

Where does this change actually get made?

csaeum · 2024-10-09T19:32:34Z

I have now discovered something strange.

Docker and Portainer are running on the server, but only for administration.

I currently have 8 Docker-Compose stacks running on the server.

They are all structured the same: php-FPM and then redis, SQL, NGINX and an image for the SQL backup.

Now my question is, if I copy the docker-compose.yml and put it in a new directory and start it. Why does the error occur when some start it and not when others start it?

None of the solutions suggested here worked for me.

So why does the error occur sometimes and not sometimes?
