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

Subject: Change base_url listening port

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 

$config['base_url'] = "http://".$_SERVER["observium.abc.com"].":".$_SERVER["8000"]; 

But it doesn’t work even after reloading apache2.

Any suggestion how to make it right?

Thanks.
