Description

1) I have designated front page weblog in my Roller set-up.
But when I try to save it with a user setting of 'Allow New Users', the checkbox remains unchecked after saving the configuration.

2) When I click on that front page blog,I get an error404.On checking the logs it was seen that there is a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException at org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.servlets.PageServlet.doGet.On checking the code I found that it finds content type of the page null and executes the following statement.
String mimeType = RollerContext.getServletContext().getMimeType(page.getLink());
This is where it throws the exception.

3) I tried creating a new entry in the weblog I created.On viewing that,I got error404.The logs mention there is a NullPointerException while setting content type.

Any help/inputs on these issues would be appreciated!
