Cloud9 on Raspberry Pi, Unable to save files

Question

I'm trying to get the cloud9 local server working on my Raspberry Pi(512mb model B, running raspbian).

I followed this installation guide: http://www.slickstreamer.info/2013/02/how-to-install-cloud-9-on-raspberry-pi.html

After this installation everything appeared to be working properly, I can start the server with the following command: ~/cloud9/bin/cloud9.sh -l 0.0.0.0 -w ~/Documents/www/workspace/

when I start the server all the files in the workspace are displayed properly and I can view, duplicate, delete, and create files remotely no problem. But when I edit an existing file and try to save it remotely a little spinning wheel pops up on the tab of the file I'm saving and it continues to spin endlessly.

When I start the server a warning pops up saying: 'path.existsSync is now called fs.existsSync.' I'm not sure if that is relevant or not.

I found another thread somewhere saying that I should go through cloud9/configs/default.js and replace any instance of localhost with 0.0.0.0. I tried that, but it didn't fix my problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get cloud9 saving files properly?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

I fully removed cloud9 and node(followed these directions to remove node: Uninstall Node.JS using Linux command line?), and then did a clean install following these directions: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=30265. In addition to those commands I also had to run the following:

sudo npm install formidable

sudo npm install gnu-tools

sudo npm install xmldom

after that I was able to start the cloud9 server without issue, and now I'm able to save files.

thanks for trying to help

There were several complains about IDE file saving hangs on cloud9 support. At the bottom of the page there is a solution you can try.
