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:

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
