Brill Pappin commented on MRM-789:
----------------------------------
Thanks for the work Maria... but the issue was actually that the repository was
somehow set to my tomcat root and when i deleted it, it deleted the entire
tomcat deployment :)
The set to root thing was a default install of the war version (so it would not
have made any difference adding a new repo).
So, your change will help, but I think more importantly make sure on install
that the directory doesn't exist.

>
> I installed the WAR version of Archiva into my tomcat instance... no problem
> so far.
> I then attempted to delete the default "internal" repository. I hit the
> delete config and contents button.
> At that moment I noticed that the repository directory was the tomcat home
> directory.
> Archiva managed to completely delete my Tomcat installation.
> To reproduce this, install it as a war, point a repo dir at your app server
> home, and hit the delete button (make sure you have a backup).
