-You can set the URL for requests to the OpenStreetMap server.  It is very unlikely you will need to change this.
+In order to use a custom URL:
+  1. Remove the tick in the checkbox for the standard API URL (see screenshot above)
+  2. Enter the API URL
+  
+Click on '''Validate''' to test whether an OSM API server is available at the given URL. If so, JOSM will display the icon [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/valid.png)]] to the right of the input field for the API URL. If the URL isn't valid, JOSM will display the icon  [[Image(source:/trunk/images/warning-small.png)]].
 
-The default base server URL for the the official OSM server is "http://www.openstreetmap.org/api".

-Before you upload any changes to the OpenStreetMap server you need to [http://www.openstreetmap.org/create-account.html create] an account.  Your chosen username and password need to be entered on the connection settings page.
