So I have a PHP project that is already going, located on \\MyServer\foldertree... I create a new PHP application with existing sources and specify that folder. The only thing I change is the checkbox to put the metadata in a separate directory (my project is shared on Git with others, so I don't want an extra folder there). The separate directory is on \\OtherServer\.roamingProfile I click 'Finish', changing nothing else. NetBeans warns me about versioning when I do this, but doesn't warn me that the project won't open, giving me pop-ups saying that it can't be opened, using the directory: \\OtherServer\foldertree This is a problem for me and causes me to not be able to use NetBeans.
Could you please try NetBeans 7.3 (RC2 available now)? Also, as a workaround, simply map your network drive to a letter, it will work. @kanakmar: Martine, please try to reproduce it in a dev build. Thanks.
I try to reproduce this issue and there is a problem with invalid source files. Test steps: 1) Create PHP project from existing source (sources path set to: \\vbox\Documents\prestashop) 2) Set checkbox to put Netbeans metadata into a separate directory (metadata folder path: \\NETBEANSVIRTUAL\Users\hudson\Documents\prestashop) 3) Press Finish button 4) Project is corrupted, if i open the Resolve Project Problem window, there is a Project problem: Invalid Source Files Description: The directory "\\NETBEANSVIRTUAL\Users\Documents\prestashop" does not exists and cannot be used for Source Files. And this is the problem, source files are on this path: "\\vbox\Documents\prestashop" not on path: "\\NETBEANSVIRTUAL\Users\Documents\prestashop". It is not possible to resolve this problem manually, I cannot change the source folder to the correct one.

I have reported issue #231704, let's wait for its fix. Thanks.
IMHO P4, not so common, moreover, workaround is super-easy, simply map your network drives to letters. Thanks.
