Tuesday July 18, 2006 Problems Upgrading Roller
Upgraded from Roller 2.0.X to 2.3 today. Followed the instructions, but roller would not start. Checked the Tomcat logs and saw the following:
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Jul 18, 2006 5:35:47 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/roller] startup failed due to previous errors
Ok, looks severe. Decided to check roller.log for more info. Saw this:
FATAL 2006-07-18 17:29:52,774 HibernatePropertiesManagerImpl:init - Failed to initialize runtime configuration properties.Please check that the database has been upgraded!
org.apache.roller.RollerException
at org.apache.roller.business.hibernate.HibernatePropertiesManagerImpl.getProperties(HibernatePropertiesManagerImpl.java:115)
at org.apache.roller.business.hibernate.HibernatePropertiesManagerImpl.init(HibernatePropertiesManagerImpl.java:147)
Well, I had certainly upgraded the database. I had also loaded fresh copies of the Hibernate 3.1.2 libraries, but based on this hint from Anil, I went ahead and downloaded the Required Jars for Roller bundle from Java.net. In addition to the hibernate jars, it seemed to add a theme/scripts/classes directory when I untarred it.
In any case, roller started right up after adding this bundle, stopping Tomcat, blowing away the Tomcat work directory, and restarting.
