Tomcat – netbeans 7.1.3 tomcat server location not valid

netbeanstomcat

I am using netbenas 7.1.3.

When I try to add the tomcat server to netbeans it says "The specified server location(Catalina Home) folder is not valid".

I have the CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME class paths working as I can get the tomcat server running fine on its own.

I'm using windows 8 x64. The location tomcat is C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.0-RC1.

Any help with this would be great. I have tried several approaches. This includes creating a user with administrative privileges in tomcat its self. enter image description here

I found a solution.

Delete the CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME class paths and

use tomcat version 7 not version 8

Tomcat – Error registering a Tomcat 7 server in Netbeans 7 (Catalina Home folder is not valid)

Okay, in the absence of anything sensible anywhere on the net, I downloaded the Netbeans source code this weekend and found out the hard way.

For some reason, Netbeans thinks I have an old version of Tomcat, so it's looking for the ${CATALINA_HOME}/common/lib folder. The following terminal commands fixed the problem:

cd /usr/share/tomcat7
sudo mkdir common
sudo ln -s lib common/lib

Netbeans currently supports Tomcat 7.0.34 per the download page and installation notes.

The Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 Update 26 (or later) or JDK 7 Update 10 (or later) is required to install the NetBeans IDE.
