Access apache logs

Apache is configured to log both access and error log to STDOUT. So you can simply use docker logs to get the log output:

If you app uses .htaccess files you need to pass the ALLOW_OVERRIDE environment variable

docker run -d -p 80:80 -e ALLOW_OVERRIDE=true mobilesnapp/apache-php5
