I am trying to setup a docker container using Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.6. I am using Alphine image from Php as my base image. When I execute the below command
apachectl -DFOREGROUND -e debug
it exits immediately. I do not see any error

I have no idea why it would be the case. It seems using -D FOREGROUND is the right option based upon my googling but for some reason it does not work for me.
Any ideas?
I have found the problem for why running apachectl -DFOREGROUND does not start the httpd process. It seems we need this mkdir -p /run/apache2. Here is the full Dockerfile if anybody is interested. It is for PHP 5.6, Apache 2.4 on Alpine. I have decided to use httpd instead of apachectl as I want apache to die when the docker container stops. Using httpd will attach the process to the current shell.
