Your steps here seem prone to error:
1. Copy JARs (from WEB-INF/lib) to existing install (to upgrade
dependencies)
2. Delete any lower-versioned JARS from WEB-INF/lib directory
3. Copy JSPs (from WEB-INF/jsps) to existing install
I would think you should just swap out the old WAR and put in the new
one. The libs between Roller 5.0.x and 5.1 are radically different.
For the log4j location issue, adding the log4j.appender.roller.File
property to your roller-custom.properties file should take care of that.

I'm fine with it. I tried upgrading my blog to 5.1 yesterday using the
steps I wrote down back in April.

The good news is it seems the database upgrade worked. After figuring out
that there's a whole slew of new stuff in WEB-INF/classes, I landed at the
following error:
SEVERE: Exception starting filter CompressionFilter
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

I was using this for Gzip compression. Is it still available? If not, I can
use wro4j.
<filter>
<filter-name>CompressionFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.core.filters.CompressionFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
Next, I received the following error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/work/underthehood/apache-tomcat-7.0.50/logs/roller.log (No such file or
directory)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)

at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:142)
at org.apache.log4j.FileAppender.setFile(FileAppender.java:294)
Where do I change the path for log4j?
Everything seems to startup OK, but when I go to localhost:8080, I get a
page not found. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt
