Dear all,
I'm trying to deploy Matomo on Railway with a fresh MariaDB instance. I've tried multiple approaches:
Matomo 5.0.2 with matomo:5.0.2 image
Matomo 4.15.1 with matomo:4.15.1 image
Railway's official Matomo template (matomo:latest)
All fail with the same error during container startup:
AH00534: apache2: Configuration error: More than one MPM loaded.
The container restarts repeatedly and never reaches a healthy state. MariaDB database connection is properly configured via environment variables and runs fine.
Environment:
Region: EU West (europe-west4-drams3a)
What I've tried:
Multiple Matomo image versions (5.0.2, 4.15.1, latest)
Fresh services with clean volumes
Verified MariaDB is running and accepting connections
Checked all environment variable references
The Apache MPM error suggests either a seccomp/container configuration conflict, broken Docker Hub images, or a kernel/container compatibility issue.
Is this a known issue? Should I be using a specific tag or configuration to work around this?
Many thanks and best wishes!

Having looked into this, the issue appears to be in your application code or configuration rather than the Railway platform itself, which puts it outside what Railway support can resolve directly.
This is exactly the kind of problem the Railway community is good at, so we'd like to open your thread as a community bounty. Railway pays a bounty to the community member who solves it, and threads like this usually get picked up quickly.
Opening it makes this entire thread public, including everything already posted. Nothing becomes public until you decide. Use the buttons below.

- Keep it private and close the thread - Nothing becomes public. The thread closes, since this isn't something Railway support can take further.

I tried to reproduce it using the same template and manage to fix it by following a solution on this old thread
https://station.railway.com/questions/urgent-all-wordpress-sites-deployed-to-07dee2ef#7d25
What i did is adding this command as the Custom Start Command on the Matomo service
sh -c "a2dismod mpm_event && a2dismod mpm_worker && a2enmod mpm_prefork && apache2-foreground"

Thanks, I simply switched to plausible as a web analytic tool, this works out perfectly!
