Don’t change base_url, this doesn’t control the port apache listens on.
The port used by apache is controlled by… apache’s config! :D
You probably want /etc/apache2/conf.d/000-default.conf

Hi Observium team:
We are trying to follow the “Config Option” under:
https://docs.observium.org/config_options/
to change the Observium GUI port from default 80 to 8000, by updating “config.php” to:
// Change web interface port setting
$config['base_url'] = "http://%22.$_SERVER%5B%22observium.abc.com%22%5D.%22:%22.$_SERVER%5B%228000"];
But it doesn’t work even after reloading apache2.
Any suggestion how to make it right?
Thanks.
