Hi all, I've upgraded roller from 0.98 to 1.2 today, but now I'm not able to open my weblog any longer. Here's what I've done:
- made a backup of the old installation and database, removed the roller webapp from my webapp dir - downloaded and unpacked the roller-files to my webapp dir - migrated the database in 3 steps : from 0.98 to 1.00, from 1.00 to 1.10 and from 1.10 to 1.20 - added roller-custom.properties with the minimal needed properties (uploads.dir and search.index.dir) After this, I tried to start tomcat and access my weblog. This doesn't work, and I cannot find any information on this. Thanx in advance for any help, Jakko Here's the error I keep seeing: ERROR 2005-09-09 10:18:42,128 BasePageServlet:handleRequest - EXCEPTION: in RollerServlet
