If you see "archive already registered", then either unregister it, or
add --force option.  I.e. tla register-archive -f http://...

This should be the result of your experiments. Two periods in email?..

This means, you did "tla my-default-archive address@hidden"
earlier.  Please never do this, because address@hidden archives are
reserved to the owner of this email, i.e. to me.  Or at least I hope so. :)

This last output also says that although this archive is your default, it
is not really registered (no wonder, there is no archive with such name).

I think it will be better to remove your ~/.arch-params directory, and
possibly /srv/arch_rcs directory too, and start over.  But this time
only execute tla commands after understanding what they do exactly.

Each command has a help, like "tla register-archive -H".
