Apache Archiva 2.0 Jetty WebAppContext:Failed startup of context o.e.j.w.WebAppContext

Question

I'm trying to stand up an instance of Apache Archiva 2.0. I can successfully run the standalone on my box at home (Ubuntu 13) from the command line: archiva2.0/bin/archiva console... However, on my Redhat 6 box at work, Archiva fails to startup the Spring webapp context. I only know the very basics about Spring. Below are the logs/files that I think are relevant. If I am missing anything, let me know in a comment and I'll gladly update.

Archiva console output:

Glad to finally have found the answer to this conundrum; the accepted answer is the solution! The errors didn't help at all. The problem appears to be triggered by some subtle variable in the OS or environment, but I couldn't find it. On two separate Debian 7.4 VM's (one local and one on our testing cluster) one Archiva 2.0.0 worked out of the box and the other gave above obscure error. — JeroenHoek, Mar 18 '14 at 13:17

This is a known issue under some environments: MRM-1807

You can correct the issue by adding a correct file as conf/archiva.xml under the installation or base directory, for example: http://s.apache.org/default-archiva.xml

what makes the example correct? I don't want to blow away my existing archiva.xml config if I can salvage some of it. – AdrianVeidt Nov 24 '15 at 13:09
