Wordpress redirects on Cloud9 IDE

I have migrated a wordpress site off of my server onto Cloud9 IDE, I have then used Search and replace to change the URL from http://www.domain.com to https://project-c9-username.c9.io

Now when I run the site I have a redirect loop.

I have searched all over the internet for a solution, most attempts to solve this issue involve changing the .htaccess file, however this does not seem to be the issue. I have made a working .htaccess and it makes no difference.

I am very confused as I have moved wordpress sites before and had no issues.

Let me know if this belongs on a different stack exchange site, because Cloud9 is unknown outside of development circles I didn't want to ask on a lesser known stack exchange site as I know it'll never get answered.

EDIT: After some more research adding this to wp-config.php makes the homepage accessible

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https')
       $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

It seems the forced Cloud9 IDE SSL is causing my website to break apart.

I had the same issue because I didn't have the right port set on the site url and site home page. After I added the cloud9 port 8080 to the url it started working. So go to your wp-config.php file and add these two lines of code.

define('WP_HOME','https://project-c9-username.c9.io:8080');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://project-c9-username.c9.io:8080');

Edit: If you have issues with https you can try changing it to http like Ruben said.

This might be caused by HTTPS usage in Cloud9. You can actually use HTTP to access your wordpress site. Simply copy the cloud9 application url to a new window and change https to http. That's it.

I'm not familar with the environment in Cloud9 IDE. but did have a lot of wordpress migration experience.would like to share some debug ideas with you.

If u confirmed it's the .htaccess that caused your redirect loop issue, have you tried wordpress wp-admin->settings->permalink , save permalink as default type;

Cause the .htaccess file is auto generated or modified by permalink settings, if u save permalink in default option, which will clean all the apache url rewrite rule and leave a clean .htaccess to you.

if "default" permalink (?postid=xxxx) didn't cause redirect loop. you need then check whether apache mode rewrite mod is on.

if not (default permalink url also not working, then it's not .htaccess problem.
