[opencms-dev] Configuration problems afterchanging loggingconfiguration

[Erik-Jan Spaans]

Hi Alex,

I've checked everything else, but I could not find any misconfiguration. 
I decided to rerun setup, and then everything was fine again.
Then I thought I'd try a little test: after changing the beforementioned 
property again (this time from my log4.properties file to the 'this' 
identifier), and without changing anything else after the fresh 
installation, the system showed the "OpenCms not properly configured!" 
message again.
So one way or another changing the log.log4j.configuration entry leads 
to this error, at least on my development system (Windows XP sp2, Tomcat 
5.0.24, OpenCms 6 beta 1).
If you like a can report this as a bug in the OpenCms bugtracking 
system, along with the path to reproduce it.

Best regards,
EJ
