The indexing issue I could resolve. After changing the folder name for the index directory from "maven-archiva-index" to "index" only, the index was correctly created. Could that be a bug in the application?
I still could not figure out how to configure that the installation proxies the ibiblio repository.

I would like to start a mirror on that server. I have created a new folder (maven2-central-proxy) in the same space that is used by Apache to server our internal Maven repositories. I have added the directory to the Managed Repositories in the Administration dialog of MRM. (BTW: Copy and Paste from my configuration can be found at the bottom of this email.) Under "Proxied Repositories" I have added the Ibiblio URL http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/. Unfortunately I can not figure out how to connect the dots now. How can I use this set-up as a proxy? I am missing some configuration steps and hope someone on this list can point me to some documentation or explain his or her configuration similar to what I want to achieve. Oh, another thing: the maven-metadata.xml file is updated but nothing is indexed in the assigned index folder though I have manually copied a few folders from our current internal repository. Is there any documentation I am missing that could help me better in understanding the configuration settings? Thanks in advance for any hint or help.
