Description

Hello,

I have been attempting to upgrade our Roller version from 2.3 to the latest version 5.1.2. Whilst doing this upgrade I am also attempting to migrate Roller from an old server to a new one running Apache Tomcat 7.

I have ran through the migration scripts to cover every iteration from 2.3 to 5.1.2 (and edited the code contained in some of the scripts for them to work) however I am now stuck with a couple of issues that is delaying the project.

The current situation is:

I have Roller running on Apache Tomcat V7 and have logged into the administration console;
My users have migrated correctly and the application is talking successfully to the Oracle 12c database;
The custom themes that we use on 2.3 are .css based, where as it looks like now they should be .xml. - is there any guidance on how to convert these themes to the new standard?
I am able to create a new posting successfully, however I am unable to view these postings due to a 404 error where by it looks like the app is unable to find/display the page. Do you have any suggestions on what could be the issue there?

Any assistance would be very gratefully received!
