Installing Apache Archiva as a Web Application

-~~TODO: show example using Tomcat 6.
~~TODO: link to wiki location for other application servers
+To deploy Archiva on Tomcat 5.5
+
+ * Create a directory in tomcat called archiva, at the same level as bin, conf, logs and the others.
+
+ * Copy the war file from apps/archiva/lib into the new directory
+
+ * Create a conf/Catalina/localhost/archiva.xml file with the following data:
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <Context path="/archiva"
+ docBase="${catalina.home}/archiva/archiva-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war">
+
+ <Resource name="jdbc/users" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
+ username="sa"
+ password=""
+ driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
+ url="jdbc:derby:database/archiva;create=true" />
+
+ <Resource name="jdbc/archiva" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
+ username="sa"
+ password=""
+ driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
+ url="jdbc:derby:database/archiva;create=true" />
+
+ <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
+ type="javax.mail.Session"
+ mail.smtp.host="localhost"/>
+ </Context>
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ * <<Note>>: Tomcat 5.5.20 and 5.5.23 are missing MailSessionFactory and a
+ few other classes. JNDI mail sessions will <not> work. Use Tomcat 5.5.17
+ instead, or see {{{http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40668}
+ Bug 40668}} for a workaround.
+
+ * Copy $HOME/.m2/org/apache/derby/derby/10.1.3.1/derby-10.1.3.1.jar (or from the remote repository) into the Tomcat
+ common/lib
+
+ * To deal with a current bug, you'll also need to add the following to your ${catalina.home}/conf/web.xml in the
+ relevant section (search for jspx):
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ <servlet-mapping>
+ <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
+ <url-pattern>*.jspf</url-pattern>
+ </servlet-mapping>
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ When you first start Archiva, you will see an Exception that schema SA does not exist - however it doesn't appear to
+ cause a problem. If you use a username other than 'sa', such as 'archiva', then you seem to get the same error but
+ Tomcat fails to start the context and you have to shutdown and restart again.
+
+Updating Archiva within a Tomcat
+
+ While exploring Archiva, or perhaps while developing with it, you will want to delete the
+ current state. Presuming you followed the instructions above, you will need to remove the
+ following files from the ${catalina.home} directory. Ensure your Tomcat has first been
+ shutdown.
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ # Remove the database
+ rm -r bin/database/ bin/derby.log
+ # Remove the archiva configuration
+ rm $HOME/.m2/archiva.xml
+ # Remove the temporary Tomcat files
+ rm webapps/archiva/ work/Catalina/localhost/archiva/ logs/*
+ # Remove the war file (if you're deploying a new one)
+ rm archiva/*.war

-To deploy Archiva on Plexus
-
- Plexus is a container developed as a part of Maven. It provides a very simple way to get started with Archiva:
-
- * Unpack the archiva-plexus-runtime/target/archiva-bin.tar.gz archive into a directory of your choice.
-
- * Start with: ./bin/plexus.sh start or a platform specific version.
-
- * A Derby exception "Schema 'SA' does not exist" occurs, but is not of concern.

-
- * Create a conf/Catalina/localhost/archiva.xml file with the following data:

-
-Setting up your Archiva instance
-
- * Goto {{http://localhost:8080/archiva/}}
-
- * On the first page - setup your administration user. The password requires a numerical character and must not be
- longer than 8 chars. You'll then need to log in. User 'admin' as the username and the password you've entered.
-
- * On the second page - setup your first repository. It can be both an m1 and an m2 repository.
-
- * On the third page - setup your indexing. Mostly this means choosing a directory to put the index in. It'll
- re-index every hour.

+
+Installing Archiva
+
+ The quickest way to install Archiva is to use the standalone distribution. This includes a bundled Jetty server, started using the Plexus Application Server.
+ For more information on advanced configuration of this instance, refer to the {{{adminguide/standalone.html} Administration Guide}}.
+
+ To get started right away, you can run the following after unpacking:
+
+----
+./bin/linux-x86-32/run.sh console
+----
+
+ You will need to choose a different start command based on your platform, or use the generic <<<./bin/plexus.sh>>> script. The <<<console>>> argument
+ starts the server with the logs going to standard output, and waits for Ctrl+C to stop the server.
+
+ <<Note:>> A Derby exception "Schema 'SA' does not exist" occurs, but is not of concern.
+
+ Archiva is now running on <<<http://localhost:8080/archiva/>>>
+
+Setting up your Archiva instance
+
+ You can now browse the web administration of Archiva. There will be a few basic setup tasks to get started.
+
+ * On the first page - setup your administration user. The password requires a numerical character and must not be
+ longer than 8 chars. You'll then need to log in. User 'admin' as the username and the password you've entered.
+
+ * On the second page - setup your first repository. It can be both an m1 and an m2 repository.
+
+ * On the third page - setup your indexing. Mostly this means choosing a directory to put the index in. It'll
+ re-index every hour.
