NetBeans issue: Tomcat with the same Catalina Home folder is already registered

[Romeo Ranjan]

Hi All,

I am new to netbeans IDE.I use version 6.8. I am trying to create a new enterprise application with existing sources using tomcat as a server. I was able to

choose a project

name and location

But the problem is with server and settings. Whenever I try to add an instance of the server tomcat 5.5 it says

Tomcat with the same Catalina Home folder is already registered.

The version of tomcat and the directory that I use is C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.29. In the C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.29\conf folder there is a folder called Catalina and localhost. I even edited the tomcat-users.xml which has my user name and password information that I use for registering the tomcat server in netbeans.

Please let me know if I am missing something or have any of you came across this problem? Please do point out my mistake.

Thanks
