OK. Sounds like for some reason the first time you ran
the deploy script it did not actually deploy. This new
error message tells me that you have now deployed.

You're making probably the most common mistake about
SourceJammer: confusing the server-side archives with
the client-side archive definitions. But don't worry.
You are definitely not the first person to make this
mistake and you won't be the last. I need to figure
out a way to prevent people from getting confused
about this.

The archives.xml file is NOT a list of archives
available on your SourceJammer server. It is a list of
archives that your client knows about. Basically
archives.xml is a list of connection information.
archives.xml is the source of the list of archives you
see in the Archives dialog.

The server keeps its archive information in the
following locations:
1)
<install-path>webapps\sourcejammer\conf\filesys\archiveList
(a serialized object with a list of all available
archives)
2)<install-path>webapps\sourcejammer\conf\filesys\<archivename>.sja
(where <archivename> is the name of a single archive.
This file contains info about the archive.)
3) <install-path>webapps\sourcejammer\archives\ (This
directory contains a single directory for each archive
available on the server. The archive directories have
the same name as the archive. Each archive's directory
contains all the files, project info, version history,
etc. for that archive.)

So, to create an archive using the SJ GUI, first you
need to "Make" the archive using Tools | Make Archive.
Then you need to create a local definition telling the
GUI about that archive using Connection | Maintain
Archive List | New.

Hopefully this clears things up. I really need to
release a document on this issue as it confuses a lot
of people.
