Netbeans 5.0 bundled with tomcat

Question

I cant run a simple web app with tomcat because it wants a username and password. But i've tried changing the tomcat-user.xml file to "manager" role. I'm lost.
Thanks

Answer 1

look in this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.netbeans\5.5beta2\config\J2EE\InstalledServers
** Owner will be your windows user name
find a file named .nbattrs
Inside that file may have your default admin username and password.
It is an xml file and look for the section like the following:
    <fileobject name="Tomcat_instance">
        <attr name="admin_port" stringvalue="8025"/>
        <attr name="debug_type" stringvalue="SEL_debuggingType_shared"/>
        <attr name="displayName" stringvalue="Bundled Tomcat (5.5.17)"/>
        <attr name="httpportnumber" stringvalue="8084"/>
        <attr name="instance_id" stringvalue="tomcat55"/>
        <attr name="password" stringvalue="H56E5wNS"/>
        <attr name="timestamp" stringvalue="1153304925000"/>
        <attr name="url" stringvalue="tomcat55:home=$bundled_home:base=$bundled_base"/>
       <attr name="username" stringvalue="ide"/>
    </fileobject>If you still have problems, I suggest you subscribe to the nb-users mailing list and ask there.
