Add tomcat server in netbeans

java, netbeans, tomcat

Solution

With `Server Location` they probably mean the root directory of the Tomcat installation, sometimes also known as `CATALINA_HOME`.

There's a file in Tomcat's `conf` directory called `tomcat-users.xml`. The Tomcat documentation tells you to add a user ID and password to this file so you can administer Tomcat. So those would need to be entered in NetBeans then.

Problem

I am using `netbeans` and when I create a new web application project I click the "Add" to add a server cause in a tutorial they are using `tomcat` and not `glassfish`. I then choose Tomcat 6.0 from the list and the next page is displayed where I have to input ``` Server Location Username Password ``` I don't get this part. What location do they mean? And what username and password?
