Description fordfrog 2009-01-15 19:53:56 UTC 
When adding new Tomcat 6.0 server with separate CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE (Use Private Configuration Folder
checkbox), the code tries to find CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml instead of CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml.
Comment 1 amyroh 2009-02-02 22:03:00 UTC 
FYI, the same issue has been reported in Web Stack (default CATALINA_BASE is different from CATALINA_HOME in order to
put log/conf files in different locations).  Hence, this problem has been reported when adding Apache Tomcat provided
through SWS in RHEL 5.2. In RHEL, the CATALINA_HOME is /opt/sun/webstack/tomcat/5.5 and CATALINA_BASE is
/var/opt/sun/webstack/tomcat/5.5. When try to add a server in NB 6.5 and point to the SWS CATALINA_HOME, the error
displays CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml can't be read and cannot configure Tomcat with NB.

The same issue is with Solaris/OpenSolairs bundled Tomcat and NetBeans. The issue is quite high call generator therfore
I'm increasing priority. 

See related thread at webstack-discuss:

Comment 3 Petr Hejl 2009-02-05 21:16:55 UTC 
Fixed in main fbc513dcb336. Have to check how to handle server-minimal.xml on solaris.

This has been fixed.
Comment 6 rajan_chandi 2009-08-18 09:04:28 UTC 
I tried to do this using Ubuntu 9.04, Netbeans 6.5.1 and Tomcat6.
The Tomcat6 was installed using Synaptic Package Manager.
I am facing this issue. Please correct this for Ubuntu Jaunty.

Rajan

You are right that this issue is not fixed in 6.5.1, which is the version you are using. It is fixed in 6.7.x, which
will be included in the next Ubuntu. You can get the fix by downloading NetBeans 6.7.1 from netbeans.org and installing
it using the installer. Changing back to FIXED.
Comment 8 omone 2009-10-07 15:19:40 UTC 
My configuration is
Ubuntu 8.04 Server with Tomcat 6.7.1, and I was still facing this issue until I gave server.xml read permission to any
with the command

sudo chmod a+r CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml

The default installation of LAMP Ubuntu leave this file rw permission to root only (unless I had done something wrong).

Hope this helps.
