Hi Brett, I actually first renamed the folder on the hard drive and then re-configured the settings in the Administration dialog. Only after those changes the indexer would work. And I do not think I had a typo in my configuration since I am pretty sure I copied the folder name into the administration dialog. I also could see the changes with a manual kick-off of the indexer (Run Now). Before the changes it was running over night for about 12 hours without being able to index.

No, it's just that it detected that it didn't exist and ran the indexer instead of waiting an hour (I'm assuming you now have both directories existing). > > I still could not figure out how to configure that the installation > proxies the ibiblio repository. > > Andreas > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andreas Guther > Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2006 11:57 AM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: Using Archiva as a Mirror > > How to use Archiva as Maven2 Mirror > > > > Hi, > > I have build and installed the Archiva Maven Repository Manager > (MRM) on > a Tomcat 5.5.17 instance on the same server I have running an Apache > server which serves as our internal Maven Repository. > > From what I read in the book "Better Builds with Maven" I can use the > MRM as a proxy and that is exactly what I am trying to get to run > right > now. > > I would like to start a mirror on that server.
