Hello everyone,

I've returned from my eight-day hiatus to Galveston, TX, and now back
on my Observium configuration.

I've reconfigured my Apache virtual host container for Observium and
Observium seems to be working, except that the login prompt is
presented every time I click on a menu option. If I reenter the user
name and password, the system proceeds to the requested menu item.
I've tried several "adjustments" to the configurations (both Observium
and Apache) and still the behavior persists.

I have several virtual hosts defined in the Apache configuration, and
Observium is accessed via port 82. In INDEX.PHP, the
base_url=http://192.168.1.75:82/   Is the port number in the
global parameter causing some problem? Otherwise, any suggestions are
appreciated.

Do not use the base_url configuration parameter.

Respectfully and from previous advise, I am not using the base_url config. parameter.  In config.php, it is "commented-out" as follows:

    // $config['base_url'] = "http://observium.company.com";

however, when I look at the resolved html code in the browser (FireFox), I find the following on line-6:
 
	<base href="http://192.168.1.75:82/" />
Also, I have found the Global Settings list as generated by the Observium system and the base_url appears in the report as follows:

    [base_url] => http://192.168.1.75:82/


I think that by leaving the base_url undefined in config.php, then the value is automatically defined as previously noted?

FYI, I'm testing Observium inside a NetGear FVX538 VPN firewalled router and forwarding via port-82.  I've configured the Apache virtual host container as follows:
#-----------------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost *:82>
    ServerAdmin rtwingfield@archaxis.net
    ServerName  observium
    DocumentRoot /opt/observium/html/
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteOptions Inherit
    CustomLog /var/log/observium_access.log combined
    ErrorLog /var/log/observium_error.log
    <Directory "/opt/observium/html">
        Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AddHandler type-map var
        DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
#-----------------------------------------------------

. . .probably some unnecessary arguments (should not be harmful), but very similar to my other virtual hosts.

Finally, in httpd.conf, Apache listens on the following ports:
Listen 192.168.1.75:80
Listen 192.168.1.75:81
Listen 192.168.1.75:82  
. . .are these "multiple listening ports" a problem for Observium?


OTTF,
