Use a different URL.

[BernardXiong]

Hi,
In C9, how can I use a different URL but http://localhost:8181/ide.html. I would like to use it as:
http://localhost:8181/c9/ide.html

Then I can setup the SDK environment together with Apache. Any settings? Thank you.

Check out this explanation for a way to have apache connect to cloud9 by proxying the url.

[BernardXiong]

Thank for your reply.
I have read your mentioned page. But I don't like the '/' root as the root of cloud9 and it's hard to create a new domain too. Any other way? Thank you so much.

[javruben]

I am not sure. You'd have to check the code. I'd welcome a patch for this.

[BernardXiong]

OK, thank you. I will check the code later.

Why not just rewrite?
For NGINX from here:

location /c9/ {
    rewrite ^/c9(/.*)$ $1 break;
    proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8181/;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    proxy_redirect    off;
}

same problem with me.

Simply using nginx rewrite might not work because client doesn't use relative urls.

https://github.com/c9/core/blob/master/plugins/c9.static/cdn.js#L29 likely need to be modified to allow this

I tried accomplishing this solely with apache settings...

No dice...

I almost got it by regexing the referer request header as a condition for rewriting to proxy and add the new base path...

Would be nice if this was supported out of box.

Hello. This is a really important feature. I need to be able to run the editor on a shared hosting server where I do web development. I can't hog up port 80, and there are no other ports open (except 465).

[matthijsbreemans]

I would like to see this as well

[taemon1337]

I was able to get pretty close using node's 'express-http-proxy' like this:

app.use('/ide|/static|/configs|_ping|/vfs', proxy(IDE_URL, {
  proxyReqPathResolver: function (req) {
    let u = url.parse(req.originalUrl).path.replace('/ide', '')
    console.log('[IDE] ' + req.originalUrl + ' -> ' + IDE_URL + u)
    return u
  }
}))

This would load all the content correctly, however there were definitely issues and was unusable, lots of loading without ever working.

Would love to see this issue resolved!

Hello,

Any news on when it will be fixed?

Thank you,

[abalter]

@hvintik -- I don't think it's a matter of being "fixed." It's really a feature request, not a bug report.

However, I am interested in the same thing because I want to use c9 on shared hosting.

Here is another thread about it.

I still haven't tried the subdomain technique.
