Error when pointing artifactory to artifactory

I have an instance of Artifactory installed locally. Within the instance, I am able to create references to other remote repositories.

Now, I have another instance of Artifactory, which exposes its own repository: .../remoteArtifactory/repo

I am trying to point to this repo in the first instance of Artifactory.

But in doing so, I have:

Connection failed with exception: Circular redirect to ".../remoteArtifactory/repo"

What am I doing wrong here?

I had exactly the same problem as you, and fixed it by completely ignoring that error message and saving the repository. To reiterate:

  1. Ensure you have the correct path to the remote repository, eg: http://host:8080/artifactory/libs-release-local/
  2. Click Test, and you'll get the Connection failed with exception: Circular redirect to - Ignore this!
  3. Click Save

Note: different versions of Artifactory have slightly different paths/URLs. This caused me a little grief.

Remote Repository Settings Remote Repository Basic Settings

Remote Repository Advanced Settings

I guess it's worth mentioning that I needed to specify the local proxy server (TdmsProxy).

Also, to confirm that you've got the correct path to the remote instance, check that you can receive a POM via the browser (or wget) from it, eg:

http://your-remote-repo:8080/artifactory/libs-releases-local/com/company/area/project/version/project-version.pom

Once, you've received the POM, just use the first part of the URL, eg:

http://your-remote-repo:8080/artifactory/libs-releases-local/

(I realise you've probably checked your path at least 10 times, but this bit me!)
