Apache archiva returns http error 503

503-errorjetty

I am using apache Archiva v. 2.2.0 under Windows Server 2012 R2. With Java version 1.8.0_60 everything worked fine. After updating to 1.8.0_101_b13 I am getting an error message when going to archiva url:
HTTP ERROR: 503 . Problem accessing /. Reason: Service Unavailable, Powered by Jetty://.

The Apache Archiva service is running. No error logs are generated.
Restarting or even reinstalling of the service has no impact.

Thank you for any tips.

In my case I've found out that the jetty configuration file jetty.xml in ARCHIVA_BASE\conf got corrupted.

Solution:

Stop archiva service
Replace jetty.xml with either a fresh one or from last known working backup. A fresh copy of jetty.xml can be downloaded from archiva web site as an apache-archiva-2.2.0-bin.zip. File location within the zip file is apache-archiva-2.2.1\conf\jetty.xml
Start archiva service

Check the log files to see if there is more useful information there. If you are not already running it from the command line, try that ("java -jar start.jar" instead of double-clicking the start.jar file). Between those two there should be information pointing you in the right direction.

Most likely what is happening is that there is a problem with the WAR file Jetty is trying to start. You will need to see a log file or other output to determine what problem it is having.
