Debian NB - setting up tomcat

[Amn Ojee Uw <am...@gmail.com>]

Tomcat is installed in '/opt/tomcat' and when trying to add tomcat as a 
server, well, NB has not permission to access that directory.
Can anyone help?
I am using NB-latest in my Debian box.

I recommend downloading Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org, unpack it in a 
directory, and then point your NetBeans installation to that. That way 
you have complete control, and the Tomcat mailing list can easily help 
you out with any issues.

I typically create a ~Apache/ directory and unpack Tomcat servers in 
that. You'll have to configure tomcat-users.xml so that NetBeans can 
actually control Tomcat as well.

There are a lot of creative things you can do once you do that, but that 
should get you going.

. . . just my two cents
