Installation on CentOS/RHEL

http://apache.mesi.com.ar/archiva/2.2.3/binaries/apache-archiva-2.2.3-bin.tar.gz

• Unpack archive into /usr and create symlink (should create a /usr/apache-archiva-X.Y.Z directory)

  cd /usr ; ln -s apache-archiva-X.Y.Z archiva

• Ensure /usr/archiva tree is owned by jenkins login
  (Note: failure to create/usr/archiva/data tree would be first symptom)
• Create /usr/lib/systemd/system/archiva.service:

  [Unit]
   Description=Apache Archiva Repository Manager
   After=network.target
  
  [Service]
   Type=forking
   User=jenkins
   Group=jenkins
   ExecStart=/usr/archiva/bin/archiva start
   ExecStop=/usr/archiva/bin/archiva stop
  
  [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

• firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=8080/tcp –permanent
• firewall-cmd –reload
• systemctl enable archiva.service
• service archiva start
• URL should be !http://yourhost:8080
