how to install artifactory

PLATFORM (previous)
windows 7 family edition 64-bit
jdk 1.7.0
tomcat 7.0.26 (64-bit edition)

I want to install new version of tomcat, jdk and artifactory.My aim is to put artifactory backups back on this new platform.This tutorial is about running artifactory war file on tomcat.

PLATFORM (new)
windows 7 family edition 64-bit
jdk1.8.0_31
apache-tomcat-8.0.20-windows-x86 


C:\Users\jupiter>java -version
java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)

extract apache-tomcat-8.0.20-windows-x86.zip
tomcat folder should look like this
C:\Downloads\apache-tomcat

"Server Status" and "Manager App" interfaces require manager-gui role and "Host Manager" requires admin-gui role.

add these lines and restart tomcat if it works.

C:\Downloads\apache-tomcat\conf \tomcat-users.xml


<role rolename="manager-gui,admin-gui"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager-gui,admin-gui"/>


configure tomcat port.
C:\Downloads\apache-tomcat\conf\server.xml

 <Connector port="5555" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" />


This file sets java_home manually and runs tomcat on the folder mentioned.
contents of "tomcat start.cmd" file.

@echo off
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_31
SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\Downloads\apache-tomcat
C:\Downloads\apache-tomcat\bin\startup.bat

run "tomcat start.cmd" on folder
C:\Downloads\ciroot

test tomcat whether it runs
tomcat runs on http://localhost:8080/


extract artifactory-3.5.3.zip
copy C:\Downloads\artifactory-3.5.3\webapps\artifactory.war file
into C:\Downloads\apache-tomcat\webapps folder.

restart tomcat.

test if artifactory runs
http://localhost:5555artifactory

artifactory first time login.
user/password  admin/admin

how to mirror repository on artifactory

If you automatically generate settings.xml file on artifactory server.Mirror part looks like below

<mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
      <name>repo</name>
      <url>http://localhost:5555/artifactory/repo</url>
      <id>repo</id>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>


Artifactory repositories use "**/*" syntax. You should replace mirror settings like below

  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <mirirrorOf>**/*</mirrorOf>
      <name>repo</name>
      <url>http://localhost:5555/artifactory/repo</url>
      <id>repo</id>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>

my diary of resolutions

• I run offline artifactory server which acts like maven repository.From time to time I get this error.

Eclipse Kepler Problems view tab

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
ArtifactDescriptorException: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.tomcat:el-api:jar:6.0.32: ArtifactResolutionException: Failure to transfer org.apache.tomcat:el-api:pom:6.0.32 from http://localhost:5555/artifactory/libs-release was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.tomcat:el-api:pom:6.0.32 from/to central (http://localhost:5555/artifactory/libs-release): Connection refused: no further information to http://localhost:5555/artifactory/libs-release/org/apache/tomcat/el-api/6.0.32/el-api-6.0.32.pom    pom.xml    /simple-parent    line 1    Maven Dependency Problem

Normally you see many errors in problems view.This is just one of them.To resolve this

right click on the project.Maven-Update Project

My guess is that if you run eclipse first when artifactory server is shut down you get this problem.

I don't exactly know why.When I browse class path I couldn't find destroy method.

• maven project error which is on eclipse luna

• ArtifactTransferException: Failure to transfer

If you get this error message starting with this you can trace the failing jar or dependency file on local folder below.This path is a generic one for hibernate

Remove folder or back up just in case you need.Update project via eclipse with m2eclipse

• This happens when you configure project while artifactory is not running

C:\Users\yeniceri\.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-war-plugin

how to run artifactory offline

If you are planning to run artifactory on offline mode just click check box.

Organization-wide Offline
    This is common in organizations using a separate secured network (such as military or financial institutes) and are disconnected from the rest of the world.
    In this case, remote repositories serve as caches only and do not proxy remote artifacts.
