Archiva can be deployed as a web application into any Java EE application server. This document will show an

instead, or see {{{http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40668}
Bug 40668}} for a workaround.
- * Install <<<derby-10.1.3.1.jar>>> into the Tomcat <<<common/lib>>>. This is required since the data sources are

+To deploy Archiva on Tomcat 6.0.x:
+
+ * Do the same steps specified above when deploying to Tomcat 5.5.
- When you first start Archiva, you will see an Exception that schema SA does not exist - however it doesn't
- 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.
+ * The ${appserver.base} java property is used by the Archiva internal logging configuration to determine where to output its logs to.
+ It is important to define this property either in the $CATALINA_OPTS system environment variable (if Tomcat is being launched via the
+ command line) or the service properties (if being launched as a service or daemon). The format typically expected is
+ -Dappserver.base=<SOMEWHERE>. In this example, we'll put the logs in Tomcat's <<<logs>>> directory so we need to set appserver.base
+ property to where Tomcat is installed:
+
++-----------+
+export CATALINA_OPTS="-Dappserver.home=$CATALINA_HOME -Dappserver.base=$CATALINA_HOME"

Archiva Configuration
Configuring and Running Archiva
Once Archiva is running, it is configured in the same way as the standalone instance. See the {{{../quick-start.html#Setting%20up%20your%20Archiva%20instance} quick start}} guide for more information.
