Q: 

Error in velocity and log4J

Hello,

I built a webapp that works perfectly fine in my localhost (tomcat). But when I tried to deploy, velocity crashes in init(), leaving me with this strange stack trace here (sorry for the size):


ERROR [main] (VelocityConfigurator.java:62) - Error initializing Velocity!

Does anyone knows the workaround? Or at least understood the error? I've done some googling but no clues.. only this page facing the same problem but no solution..

+2  A: 

It appears the process attempting to open the log file does not have permission to do so:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: velocity.log (Permission denied)

I think this line has the answer. Looks like there is an issue creating the velocity.log file. What does your configuration file look like?

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: velocity.log (Permission denied)

It was exactly that, I will put the work around when I have time.
