are you specifying the appserver.base system property as described in http://archiva.apache.org/docs/1.1//adminguide/webapp.html?

yup. they're there. had an archiva 1.0.2 setup in that machine previously on the same tomcat server. cleaned up everything though before installing 1.1: deleted database and repo directories and .m2/archiva*. environment variables preserved.

was able to make it to work now by commenting out propertyPlaceholder in application context xml

I tried replicating this but after setting export CATALINA_OPTS="-Dappserver.home=$CATALINA_HOME -Dappserver.base=$CATALINA_HOME" before starting Archiva, the error no longer showed up...

Closing this as 'Not A Bug' since by settings this --> export CATALINA_OPTS="-Dappserver.home=$CATALINA_HOME -Dappserver.base=$CATALINA_HOME" as specified in the admin guide (when installing Archiva as a war) removes the error. I verified this both with Tomcat 5.5.17 and 6.0.14.. Thanks.
