To upgrade from FarCry 3.x to 4.x make sure to check out these
directions http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV40/Upgrading+from+Earlier+Versions

Also, unless if I am mistaken, the value for projectURL is only used
if you are running your site from an alias folder, otherwise if you're
just running the site from the root domain leave the value blank.  If
your alias is called myalias use projectURL="myalias" (not projectURL="http://www.mydomain.com/myalias
").  Find more info about the farcryinit tag at http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV40/Application+Initialisation
