Configuring External Apache Tomcat in Netbeans/Ubuntu or error : specify the server location (Catalina Home)) and error : could not read server-config.xml

Hi This posts counters the problem of configuration of external Apache Tomcat Server to Ubuntu..

It also deals with the errors
1. specify the server location (Catalina Home))
2. could not read server-config.xml

To Counter all this we need to do as follows

For First Problem create and link directories as follows.This will only occur if Netbeans thinks if you are using and older version of Tomcat Server.

cd /usr/share/tomcat7
sudo mkdir common
cd common
sudo ln -s ../lib lib

For Second Problem create and link directories as follows

cd /usr/share/tomcat7
sudo mkdir conf 
cd conf
sudo ln -s /etc/tomcat7/server.xml server.xml
sudo chmod o+rx /usr/share/tomcat7/conf 
 
Thats it give a username and Password and Apache server is configured on your Netbeans
