Installing the Framework (Problem cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: cache-proxy) - api-platform.com

Question

I tried to install api-platform: https://api-platform.com/docs/distribution/
after starting I see in the log "api-platform-242_cache-proxy_1"
│ Error: │
│ Message from VCC-compiler: │
│ Expected return action name. │
│ ('/usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl' Line 67 Pos 13) │
│ return (miss); │
│ ------------####-- │
│ Running VCC-compiler failed, exited with 2 │
│ VCL compilation failed
If I use the api (post greeting), the response code is 500
"hydra:description": "cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: cache-proxy (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)",
"trace": [
Nevertheless the entity is still inserted.
Furthermore I tried the api-platform without docker (Apache).
I removed the line VARNISH_URL=http://cache-proxy in the .env file.
Then the return code is 500 with
"cURL error 3: malformed (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)"
Do you have any idea?
Kind regards
Ludi

Answer 1

Remove varnish from api_platform.yaml

Answer 2

I believe you should remove or comment out VARNISH_URL=http://cache-proxy from .env file not from api_platform.yaml as your .env can change and is/should be host dependent and configuration (.yaml) should not.
See: https://symfony.com/doc/current/configuration.html#the-env-file-environment-variables
There is also a .env file which is loaded and its contents become environment variables. This is useful during development, or if setting environment variables is difficult for your deployment.
In api_platform.yaml you SHOULD comment out whole http_cache section or you will keep getting cURL errors about malformed from guzzle.
{
"#context": "/api-platform/api/public/contexts/Error",
"#type": "hydra:Error",
"hydra:title": "An error occurred",
"hydra:description": "cURL error 3: <url> malformed (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)",
"trace": [
{
"namespace": "",
"short_class": "",
"class": "",
"type": "",
"function": "",
"file": "...\\api-platform\\api\\vendor\\guzzlehttp\\guzzle\\src\\Handler\\CurlFactory.php",
"line": 186,
"args": []
},
Effect is the same.

I had the same problem, and I resolved it!
As specified here: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform/issues/777, the problem is the directories/files rights, so instead of downloading the zip or tar.gz archive, I cloned the repo,
All commands I made (after installing Docker for Windows and enabling Shared Drives in Docker for Windows settings):
cd my_parent_directory
git clone https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform.git
cd api-platform
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d
And when I go on https://localhost:8443 all work!!
I hope this helps you :)
