Description sairndain 2008-03-10 21:37:08 UTC
1. "Tools" > "Servers" > click "Add Server" button

2. choose "WebSphere Application Server 6.1"

3. *BEFORE* entering server location, red text at bottom of "Add Server Instance" dialog says, "Please enter a valid 
IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.0 installation directory"....-- strange that I chose "6.1", but, its asking 
for "6.0"!!?

4. any way, enter the server location (in my case, "C:\opt\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer"), click "Next" button

5. in "Instance Properties"...
a. "Local/Remote" has only "Local" choice
b. "Local Instances" has only "[localhost:]"
c. "Profile Path" has "C:\opt\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01"  (NOTE: user input is disabled)
d. "Host" has "localhost" (NOTE: user input is disabled)
e. "Port" is empty (NOTE: user input is disabled)
f. "Username" blank (NOTE: security is not enabled on server/console)
g. "Password" blank (NOTE: security is not enabled on server/console)
-- at the bottom of the "Instance Properties" panel is a yellow (!) triangle followed by text: "Please enter a valid 
port"  .........Of course, entering a valid port is impossible because input is disabled for the "Port" field

Bottom line - I cannot use NetBeans 6.0, 6.0.1, or 6.1 Beta with IBM WebSphere 6.1

Please help... Seems to be a bug  - I'd very much like to use NetBeans, but, for this issue!

The wizard is getting the port from the server configuration.

Can you attach it? It is taken from file
IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/config/cells/XXXXXXCell/nodes/XXXXXX/serverindex.xml

Can you provide any additional information about the profile configuration?

Hi Phejl

You hunch was correct.

It was a security settings issue.  In my case, an "administrator" user logs in (as himself) and installs websphere 6.1 
and netbeans 6.1 beta.

But, the "administrator" user did not modify the security settings on the newly installed websphere 6.1 directories so 
that a "normal" user can log in and use software that accesses (reads/writes) these new directories.

Once the "normal" user was added to these new folders, then, selecting of "WebSphere 6.1" server was possible.

thanks
sd

P.S.  

Still not able to deploy the the WebSphere "6.1" server, however
