Description

I'm trying to install Archiva 1.2-M1 as an exploded webapp under tomcat.

I have already installed continuum and I would like the both share the same user DB in MySQL. Another thing that should be noted is I'm using LDAP authentication.

When I first tried to access Archiva, I got the following exception:

Looking at the MySQL DB, there is only one table created: ARCHIVA_REPOSITORY_STATS

In archiva.log I can only see the following error:

2009-03-05 18:37:05,822 [main] ERROR org.apache.maven.archiva.scheduled.DefaultArchivaTaskScheduler  - Repository [internal] is currently being processed or is already queued.
