You're confusing a filesystem subdirectory with an http subdirectory, everything after that is moot.
Sent from my mobile, please excuse brevity and spelling errors.
Good evening Adam and all:
Yes, I'm aware of the subdirectory caveat and I've installed in /opt/observium as
advertised (/opt is
in the root directory).
I have been able to login, once I found that the password is MD5
encrypted and I changed the value in the users table element,
password. (Have to use phpMyAdmin.)
Regardless, my questions are with regard to the value for the base_url and the
various *_dir
values. See the following:
Default directories (as per ./observium/config.php)
//
Location
$config['install_dir']
= "/opt/observium/"; // moot considering the following:
Default directories (as per
./observium/includes/default.inc.php)
$config['install_dir']
= "/opt/observium";
#$config['html_dir']
= $config['install_dir'] . "/html";
#$config['rrd_dir']
= $config['install_dir'] . "/rrd";
#$config['log_file']
= $config['install_dir'] . "/observium.log";
#$config['temp_dir']
= "/tmp";
Un-commenting the (previous) last four
instructions seems to make no difference . . .?
// This should *only* be set if
you want to *force* a
particular hostname/port
// It will prevent the web interface being usable form
any other hostname
// $config['base_url'] =
"http://observium.company.com";
$config['base_url'] = "";
// Without this set to something (including a NULL
value),
// the index.php page will not render properly. (Noted by
RTW)
If the logout option is selected per the following associated code,
<li><a href="logout/"
title="Logout"><i class="oicon-door-open-out"></i> Logout</a></li>
The system complains that:
“The requested URL
/index.php/logout// was not found on this server.”
This seems logical because the href=”logout/” construct
is apparently
poorly formed. It suggests that there is
a relative directory named logout,
and nothing is specified as an
object. Perhaps there is some concatenation
problem. The same is true for other menu
options, e.g.:
<a
href="logout/
. . .etc
<a href="settings/
. . .etc
<a href="preferences/
. . .etc
<a href="about/
. . .etc
. . .all fail. I suspect some path issues. Can
someone tell me where/what object (PHP script?) executes the logout
procedure? In other words, where is the <li><a href="logout/"
title="Logout"><i class="oicon-door-open-out"></i> Logout</a></li> list element construct created?
Finally, in order to get the "home page" (the one with the world map)
to render following successful login, the following was necessary:
RE: /opt/observium/html/pages/logon.inc.php
Changed url to relative reference
(removed “/” before
“image”) to enable display of image:
<!--div
class="well" style="padding: 50px; background-image:
url('/images/login-hamster-large.png');
background-position: left 10px top -65px; background-repeat:
no-repeat;" changed by RTW-->
<div
class="well" style="padding: 50px; background-image:
url('images/login-hamster-large.png');
background-position: ...etc.
BTW, think of me as someone in "userland" that is PHP capable.
Thanks for any suggestions; in the mean time, I'll revisit my Apache2.2
httpd configurations for possible path problems. I think that with a
little "jump start" help, I can port this to FreeBSD.
OTTF,
Ron W.

Observium doesn't work from a subdirectory.
Also, FreeBSD is not really supported, as non[e] of the development
team use it, and Observium relies a little more heavily on userland
than most PHP applications.
