Chris Harris commented on MRM-1670:
-----------------------------------
I'm glad you pointed that out. I indeed found another archiva.xml that I
didn't create, but it's located under ${appserver.base}/conf. The archiva.xml
that I created is under ${appserver.base}/conf/Catalina/localhost. There is an
additional archiva.xml under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.m2.
I'm still using Archiva as a service, so the only archiva.xml with a timestamp
for today is the one located at ${appserver.base}/conf. I wasn't expecting
that since the .war installation instructions tell me to put archiva.xml in
${appserver.base}/conf/Catalina/localhost.
Nonetheless, thank you for pointing this out. I never would have thought that
the .war running on Tomcat as a service would create and use a config file
elsewhere than if it weren't a service.

> Project: Archiva
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Design, repository interface
> Affects Versions: 1.4-M3
> Environment: Windows XP Professional, Tomcat 7.0.2 (base separated
> from installation), Apache 2.2 w/ mod_proxy, MySQL 5.5 for FileSystem,
> DataStore, and PM.

> When I set up Archiva on Tomcat, I was launching Tomcat manually via the
> command prompt. During this time, I set up 2 repositories (1 with a Stage
> repository), many remote repositories, a repository group, and a proxy
> connector. Once I was satisfied with my setup, I set the Tomcat instance as a
> Windows service.
> I was surprised to find that the repositories, repository group, and proxy
> connector I created were missing. Only the default internal and snapshots
> repositories remained. The default central remote repository remained. The
> default proxy connector was still present (the one connecting internal to
> central). No repository groups remained.
> I located ${appserver.base} and found data/repositories. Within that
> subdirectory path, I found my 2 repositories (+ the stage repository for a
> total of 3 repos).
> Suspecting buggery, I created a new managed repository named test. Sure
> enough, test appeared in the same subdirectory as the 3 repos I created when
> Archiva was not launched via Tomcat as a Windows service. Archiva could see
> test, but it could not see the other 3 repos.
> I've attached screenshots showing the Archiva ui and Windows Explorer after I
> created "test".
