Installing Standalone Distribution of Apache Archiva
Installing the standalone distribution of Archiva is quite simple - for an example, see the {{{../quick-start.html} Quick Start}} guide.
However, the best way to use this installation technique is to separate the configuration from the installation to make it easy to
upgrade to newer versions in the future.
* Running Archiva
Archiva can be run by executing:
* <<<bin/archiva>>>, or <<<bin\archiva.bat>>> for Windows (select the one for your environment). The argument can be <<<console>>> to run
interactively, or <<<start>>> to run in the background (in this case, run the script with <<<stop>>> to later stop the server). The logs
are available in the <<<logs>>> directory where Archiva is installed.
There is an issue with regard to the version of <<<tr>>> installed/used by default on Solaris so you might encounter a series of <<<Bad String>>> errors
when you run the Archiva binaries in Solaris. You need to use a different version of <<<tr>>> in order to get it to work. See
{{{http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-1467} MRM-1467}} for more details.
<<NOTE>>: since 1.4-M3 Archiva is now available on / (ROOT) context.
If you want to use an other context path, you must edit the file in contexts/archiva.xml
+---
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<!-- contextPath used -->
<Set name="contextPath">/</Set>
<Set name="war"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default="."/>/apps/archiva</Set>
<Set name="extractWAR">false</Set>
<Set name="copyWebDir">false</Set>
</Configure>
+---
* Installing as a Service on Windows
On Windows, to use the <<<start>>> and <<<stop>>> commands you must first install it as a service. This is done by running:
----
.\bin\archiva.bat install
----
You can then use the <<<start>>> and <<<stop>>> commands as well as the traditional Windows service management console to manage the Archiva
service.
This procedure installs the service to run as the local system user. You must ensure that it has access to read the installation, and to write
to the logs and data directories.
Note on last Windows version, you need to configure correctly path to your java executable.
In wrapper.conf file:
---
wrapper.java.command=fullpath to your java executable
---
You can later remove the service with:
----
.\bin\archiva.bat remove
----
* Separating the base from the installation
The standalone installation of Archiva is capable of separating its configuration from installation
in much the same way Tomcat does.
This is achieved by the following steps:
[[1]] Create the base location. For example, you might install Archiva in
<<</opt/archiva-1.4>>> and the data in <<</var/archiva>>>. Create the
directories <<</var/archiva/logs>>>, <<</var/archiva/data>>>,
<<</var/archiva/temp>>> and <<</var/archiva/conf>>>.
[[2]] Move the configuration files from the Archiva installation (e.g. <<</opt/archiva-1.4/conf>>> to the new location (e.g. <<</var/archiva/conf>>>). If you've previously run Archiva, you may need to edit <<<conf/archiva.xml>>> to change the location of the repositories.
[[3]] (Optionally, leave a README file in the old conf location as a reminder of where you moved the config files.)
[[4]] Set the environment variable <<<ARCHIVA_BASE>>> to the new location (e.g. <<</var/archiva>>>). In bash, be sure to export the variable.
[[5]] Start Archiva standalone as described above from the installation location
* Configuring Archiva
Archiva's configuration is loaded from the following files, in order of precedence:
* <<<~/.m2/archiva.xml>>>
* <<<$ARCHIVA_BASE/conf/archiva.xml>>>
* <<<conf/archiva.xml>>> in the Archiva installation
When Archiva saves its configuration, all configuration is stored in a single file. The file chosen is by the following rules:
* If <<<~/.m2/archiva.xml>>> exists, it is saved there
* Otherwise, if <<<$ARCHIVA_BASE/conf/archiva.xml>>> exists, it is saved there
* If neither apply, it is saved to <<<~/.m2/archiva.xml>>>.
The configuration will never be saved in the Archiva installation directory if you are using a separate base directory.
Note that the configuration can be edited, but only when Archiva is not running as it will not reload a changed configuration file, and will save over it
if something is changed in the web interface.
* Database
By default, Archiva uses embedded {{{http://db.apache.org/derby}Apache Derby}}
to store the user information. It can be configured to use an external database
by providing a JDBC driver and editing the <<<jetty.xml>>> file.
[[1]] Place the jar containing the JDBC driver in the <<<lib>>> directory of the Archiva installation.
[[2]] Edit <<<conf/wrapper.conf>>> to add it in the jetty classpath
+------+
Find lines with:
wrapper.java.classpath.x=%REPO_DIR%/tomcat-juli-7.0.34.jar
Add one
wrapper.java.classpath.x+1=%REPO_DIR%/yourjdbcdriver.jar
+------+
[[3]] Edit <<<conf/jetty.xml>>>, providing the JDBC driver class
name, database url, username, and password.
[]
The example below uses Mysql for the database server. You can take a look at
{{{http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARCHIVA/Archiva+with+MySQL}Archiva with MySQL}}
for more details.
