You should probably restore the old environment. If you can't do that 
you need to renovate your app, but persisting in thinking there is some 
magic bullet that will let you upgrade your app minimally by a simple 
transformation is simply wrong.

There is no substitute for the hard work required.

Your app has probably been living on borrowed time for quite a while.
