Thanks for using code blocks however I edited your post, highlight the different parts of the code separately. This way we can see where are your mentioned logs and other parts. Consider using this method next time, it helps a lot to understand the question

Have you checked that if you successfully imported the exported data into the new database?

killmasta93 · June 11, 2022, 2:53am

Thank you for the reply, will keep that in mind,
as for the data
correct i went to the phpmyadmin and check the data and it was correctly uploaded, i also imported just to make sure thought the phpmyadmin but not sure why the wp-content now showing correctly or it seems that its grabbing wp-content from another location

killmasta93 · June 11, 2022, 3:49am

so i reinstalled everything again and it seems that now it shows a different error which im getting


# Forbidden

You don't have permission to access this resource.Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

i deleted the .htaccess file but still the same issue

Your picture shows that /var/www/html is on a volume. The definition is in the Dockerfile:

github.com

docker-library/wordpress/blob/0e3f192f9daab75f69b49aae8e69b3e23de33a02/latest/php7.4/apache/Dockerfile#L162


      
          # pre-create wp-content (and single-level children) for folks who want to bind-mount themes, etc so permissions are pre-created properly instead of root:root
          # wp-content/cache: https://github.com/docker-library/wordpress/issues/534#issuecomment-705733507
          	mkdir wp-content; \
          	for dir in /usr/src/wordpress/wp-content/*/ cache; do \
          		dir="$(basename "${dir%/}")"; \
          		mkdir "wp-content/$dir"; \
          	done; \
          	chown -R www-data:www-data wp-content; \
          	chmod -R 777 wp-content
          
          VOLUME /var/www/html
          
          COPY --chown=www-data:www-data wp-config-docker.php /usr/src/wordpress/
          COPY docker-entrypoint.sh /usr/local/bin/
          
          ENTRYPOINT ["docker-entrypoint.sh"]
          CMD ["apache2-foreground"]

This is what you need to remember when you want use a new image because the content of that volume will not change. This is where you will most likely have proper permissions, since the content of the image will be copied here with the original permissions when you start the container or sometimes it is populated only by the process in the container itself.

Then you can mount folders over the volume as you did:

wp-content can be empty in the volume’s _data folder but it will not be empty from the container’s point of view. These folders however need to have proper permissions before you start the container. make sure it is owned by www-data. Since you have www-data on your host too (I am saying it based on your pictures), you can run

chown -R www-data:www-data /wordpress/wp-content

from your host as root. I don’t use wordpress recently so I can’t tell you the exact solutions, but proper permissions, right mount points and volumes are important.

You could also try this migration process without a container, if you haven’t done it yet. Maybe there is something else that causes the problem besides the fact that you use containers.

i doubt that deleting a file could solve the permission issue of that file, unless that was changed somehow after the installation and it is automatically recreated. I don’t know if that’s true.

Thank you so much it was the permission issue
