Why do I get "log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger" message on server st

[Dave Alvarado]

Hi,

When I start my WebLogic 9.2.2 server, I get these error messages:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

But this is odd because I start with this server start option, "-Dlog4j.configuration=/export/third-party/etsbea/application_conf/wls_9.2.2/nps_config_gui_conf/NPSConfigGUILog.properties". I have verified the properties file exists. In fact, here are its contents ...
