Using Cloud9 IDE on an EC2 instance

I've installed Cloud9 IDE on an Amazon EC2 instance and started it with this line:

node bin/cloud9.js

But when I open the IDE address from the browser, there is no response. I've added the port 3000 in the instance security group. I think the problem is I'm trying to load the page from a url such as 'http://ec2-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3000/' where the Cloud9 server expects a request url like 'http://127.0.0.1:3000'. I get the page content if I 'wget' 'http://127.0.0.1:3000' from the EC2 instance, so the server is working.

Similar thing happens with node.js 'hello world' example, I get no response if the server 'listens' like this,

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1337, "127.0.0.1");

because of the ip parameter, and it works if I change the line to .listen(1337);

What should I change in Cloud9 IDE to make it work through 'http://ec2-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3000/'?

The issue is the IP address cloud 9 is bound to by default is the local host address, you should be able to change the value in cloud 9's config to 0.0.0.0 (listen on all addresses)

You can try running this command and connect to it through localhost:3000. Had the same problem with couchdb.

ssh ec2-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com -L 3000:localhost:3000
