The 'static_page' module is deprecated now -- see if you can follow the
directions in $WEBSITE_DIR/pkg/base_page-x.xx/doc/base_page.pod under
'MIGRATION' to move those pages over to the new system.

Ah, for this you should be able to do the following:

1) Create a file '.no_overwrite' in $WEBSITE_DIR/template and add the
line:

base_main

to it. This ensures your main template won't get overwritten.

2) Run:

 $ export OIWEBSITE=/path/to/mysite
 $ oi_manage refresh_widget

Which will ensure that all the 'widgets' in OI are in your website,
including the 'error_message' and a number of others. 

If you run into anything else, let the list know. The next version is
pretty much ready to go but I'd like to make sure the upgrading process
isn't totally painful...
