CH03 - nerd-dinner-web

[marciogmorales]

When trying to run the container ch-03-nerd-dinner-web I'm receiving the error below (the same as the last issue):
PS C:\DockerStudy\ch03\ch03-nerd-dinner-web> docker container logs 596bb08cab53

@marciogmorales did you manage to get things working?

I was experiencing the same issue, I'm not really sure whats going wrong on lines 42 - 46 but breaking it down:

• First, it runs ServiceMonitor which monitors the IIS process (w3svc)
• Then it tries to access the website running on localhost. - 1st error is for this.
• Then it forces IIS to write the current log to the disk.
• Lastly, it attempts to show/get the contents of the "C:\iislog\W3SVC\u_extend1.log" file. - 2nd error is for this.

I decided to try and build the image from the source to try to work out what was wrong. First (like with a few of the Dockerfile files in the repository) I needed to update the image to use the mcr.microsoft.com repository:

For me, it seems when I ran the image I built (which just has the changes mentioned to use the mcr.microsoft.com repository), it works fine.

As I only get issues if I run the dockeronwindows/ch03-nerd-dinner-web:2e image I'm not sure what's wrong.

No,
It has been a while since I went through this book. It is a good book, but no support from the author once published.
