Not valid for cloud.

Same here.

We also facing the same issue.

However, I replaced "WARN >> DEBUG" and it shows lots of logs...

Kindly, at least confirm if this will not create any issue/ problem later in production.

we have same problem, any updates on this?

I'm seeing the same thing in Jira 6.4.8. Any advice on how to fix it?

Same issue on the current Confluence latest version 5.8.8

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.atlassian.plugin.spring.scanner.util.ProductFilterUtil).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

We have the same issue. where found this file?

Hmm, where exactly should i put this file and where from do i get it? I have the same problem (getting the same message in log), eventually i can access the first few windows, but then get error 500 - page

you need a log4j.properties file under src to initialize.

Best wishes

I also have this issue. Is there anything to do and fix it? It is somewhat annoying to get the "Open a Support Ticket" answer, since it appears to happen to several people.

Issue still occuring with Confluence v5.5.6:

Hi yehonatan.devorkin

Thanks for getting in touch. The problem you describe sounds like something that our support team would be able to help you with. Could I ask that you create a support request on https://support.atlassian.com.

I've upgraded today our test environment from Confluence 5.5.3 to 5.5.6 and cannot access Confluence GUI anymore.
The logs hangs on the same output has appear here.

Any update about it from Atlassian end?

Thanks in advance.

Any updates on this? We too have a similar message while the Confluence is being restarted.

Regards,
Rahul

Thanks for raising this issue, Giuliano!

If the message has any meaning, I'd like to fix the log4j initialization process accordingly – please tell us how! Otherwise, I'd rather not have the WARN message...
