Hudson context url

Question

How can I change Hudson context url and access it something like http://localhost:8080/hudson instead of http://localhost:8080/? I'm using hudson standalone and is runing as a service on a fedora virtual machine.

Answer 1

The standalone version of hudson uses Winstone as embedded container.

You can find some Hudson-specific config notes on the hudson wiki, but I guess the Winston Sourceforge Page (section: command line options) is the best place to look.

Edit: the actual Solution can be found on this blog page:

java -jar hudson.war --prefix=/hudson
