Using a different path in Apache

Have you tried setting a different location in the virtual host config file for Apache?

Change <Location "/"> to <Location "/graphite/">
Change <Location "/content/"> to <Location "/graphite/content/">
Change <Location "/media"> to <Location "/media/graphite/">
Change
Alias /media/ "@DJANGO_ROOT@/contrib/admin/media/"
to
Alias /graphite/media/ "@DJANGO_ROOT@/contrib/admin/media/"

I have not tested this, so I can't guarantee this will work...but it's something to try.

I have, it causes the page to load a frameset in a frameset loop.

Hi Ismael, I'm sorry to say it but this isn't a supported configuration. We've tried implementing this in the past but ran into lots of issues (like the dreaded infinitely-nested-frames problem) and it complicates some parts of the code unnecessarily.

The good news is that it's very likely you can achieve your goal another way. If you don't already I highly recommend running Graphite in its own vhost (an example vhost config file is included in the release tarball). Doing this helps isolate Graphite from other apps running in the same apache instance. I hope that helps.

I'm using that right now, but it complicates matters, as I'm using the
graphs from my app. My app has to be served from 4 different IPs in
different LANs and ports, so I don't know how to get to the correct
graphite IP/port (graphite is being served in all of the IPs, on
different ports). If I could run it on the same vhost, I wouldn't have
this issue.

Thanks for your answer.
