Hi @devesh37,
you can try to change the `kibanaBaseUrl` variable in `src/legacy/core_plugins/kibana/index.js`, but be aware that this could break all sorts of things.
Out of curiosity - whats your use case for changing this URL?

Hi,
Sorry for late reply.
**My use case** is , i donot want to show app/kibana in browser URL "[http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/discover?"](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/discover?%22)
Instead i want to show "[http://localhost:5601/app/devCustom#/discover?"](http://localhost:5601/app/devCustom#/discover?%22) in browser url,
or hiding the "[http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#)" part from URL of browser. anything from above two is ok.
I have tried
1. solution given by you to change the `kibanaBaseUrl` variable in `src/legacy/core_plugins/kibana/index.js` :- but it breaks lots of url in
2. try to configure nginx reverse proxy to hide "[http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#)" part of url.
:- unable to get right combination of nginx configration
Please help @flash1293 .. thanks in advance.
thanks and regards,
devesh kumar

Hi @devesh37,
I was interested in _why_ you want to hide `app/kibana` in the url - do you not like the looks of it or is there a deeper reason?
The second solution won't work because this navigation is done in the hash part of the URL and is not sent to the server at all - so it has to be done client side.
The first solution is the way to go, I'm afraid you have to go through all of the places that break one by one - it's just that doing this is nothing that's supported by Kibana which means the code is not structured in a way to make it easy.

One thing that springs to my eye is `main: 'plugins/kibana/techgis',` - this is the path of the main entrypoint, there has to be a file with this name. Other than that it's hard to tell without having the code running. Please put it on Github so I can have another look.
