There is an Apache Virtual Hosts file provided in the graphite-web/examples directory. You can use this to configure your Apache installation.

Things to pay attention to in this file:

...

WSGISocketPrefix run/wsgi

this needs to be set to a directory that the webserver can write to and can be either a relative or an absolute path.

The following, minimal Apache vhost configuration file should be enough to get started

<IfModule !wsgi_module.c>
    LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
</IfModule>

WSGISocketPrefix /var/run/wsgi

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@myhost.edu

        ServerName graphite
        DocumentRoot "/opt/graphite/webapp"

        ErrorLog /opt/graphite/storage/log/webapp/error.log
        CustomLog /opt/graphite/storage/log/webapp/access.log common

        WSGIDaemonProcess graphite processes=5 threads=5 display-name='%{GROUP}' inactivity-timeout=120
        WSGIProcessGroup graphite
        WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
        WSGIImportScript /opt/graphite/conf/graphite.wsgi process-group=graphite application-group=%{GLOBAL}
        WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/graphite/conf/graphite.wsgi

        Alias /content/ /opt/graphite/webapp/content/
        

Both the <Location "/content/"> and <Location "/media/"> do not specify access. You may need to add them.

ie.

<Location "/content/">
  SetHandler None
</Location>

to

<Location "/content/">
                SetHandler None
                Order deny,allow
                Allow from all
        </Location>
        <Directory /opt/graphite/conf/>
                Options All
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>
        <Directory /opt/graphite/webapp>
                Options All
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

in /opt/graphite/conf/carbon.conf but this will not harm the running process and does not need to be disabled.

...

Note: If you are not running the carbon-cache.py daemon as root, then you will need to make the /opt/graphite/storage/whisper directory writable by whichever user you will run carbon-cache.py as.

sudo chown -R ubuntu /opt/graphite/storage/whisper

For example: If you are running Apache as www-data and the carbon-cache.py as ubuntu then your /opt/graphite/storage directory will look like

> ls -l /opt/graphite/storage
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data     5 Sep  8 21:46 carbon-cache-a.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 69632 Sep  8 21:50 graphite.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data   762 Sep  8 21:50 index
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data  4096 Sep  8 21:40 lists/
drwxr-xr-x 4 www-data www-data  4096 Sep  8 21:46 log/
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data  4096 Sep  8 21:40 rrd/
drwxr-xr-x 5 ubuntu   www-data  4096 Sep 10 18:19 whisper/

This will allow carbon-cache.py to add new metrics to the whisper tables and still allow the web application to read them.
