While I'd generally just use webapps as well (and would be happy to see someone update the doc accordingly), these instructions did work for me.
By putting it in ./archiva instead of webapps, it's not auto-unpacked into the path /apache-archiva-1.0.2, which allows you to specify the path and location through your own context file. The conf directory it refers to is in the tomcat installation - conf/Catalina/localhost should already exist and the context XML file needs to be added. - Brett On 10/04/2008, Jason Chaffee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > First, it is quite clear where to create the archiva.xml from this > statement: > > "Create a conf/Catalina/localhost/archiva.xml file with the following > data (replace the database paths with a suitable location):" > > Should this be in tomcat/conf, or tomcat/archiva/conf, it isn't really > clear where this conf directory should be located so I tried both but it > didn't make a difference because I still don't see how tomcat is aware > of the archiva war, etc. without putting the war in tomcat/webapps > instead of tomcat/archiva as the documentation suggests. > > There has to be something else that needs to be done to get this to > work. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 10:44 PM > To: archiva-users@maven.apache.org > Subject: Re: How to configure the thread pool? > > On 10/04/2008, Jason Chaffee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We are seeing performance problems with Archiva when used as a proxy > and > > we suspect it may be due to the thread pool. > > Unfortunately, it's not really accessible in Archiva 1.0.x.
