Unable to Add external Server Tomcat In Netbeans 7.1

Question

I am going to add Tomcat server in Netbeans 7.1 , it shows:

The specified Server Location (Catalina Home) folder is not valid.

Answer 1

Netbeans 12.0 apache-tomcat-8.5.60

this will give you the catalina.home directory

ps aux | grep catalina

catalina.home=/opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.60

catalina.base=/opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.60

chown the tomcat directory worked for me

sudo chmod -R 775 /opt/tomcat/
