Is it possible to upgrade from 3.0/3.1 to 4.0 w/o creating a roller-custom.properties? Here's what I tried:
1. Copied my current roller-custom.properties to Tomcat's classpath. 2. Copied my current context.xml to Tomcat. 3. Imported my existing database into MySQL. When I start Roller 4.0 and go to http://localhost:8080, I get the following error on the UI: An exception occurred processing JSP page /index.jsp at line 31 28: } else { 29: // dispatch to setup page 30: RequestDispatcher setuppage = request.getRequestDispatcher("/roller-ui/setup.rol"); 31: setuppage.forward(request, response); 32: } 33: 34: %> Stacktrace: In roller.log, I see: WARN 2007-11-05 10:46:37,271 WebloggerRuntimeConfig:getProperty - Trouble accessing property: site.frontpage.weblog.handle java.lang.IllegalStateException: Roller Weblogger has not been bootstrapped yet at org.apache.roller.weblogger.business.WebloggerFactory.getWeblogger(WebloggerFactory.java:60) at org.apache.roller.weblogger.config.WebloggerRuntimeConfig.getProperty(WebloggerRuntimeConfig.java:66) at org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:55) I realize I can configure roller-custom.properties with my database/mail settings, but I was hoping to use the configuration I already have (from JNDI). If that's not possible, let me know. I believe this may be a common issue for folks trying to upgrade.
