What is wrong with this log4j configuration?

I'm getting no debug messages and this error message at startup:

R log4j:ERROR Improper initialization for the appender named [DATEDFILE].

This is my properties

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, DATEDFILE, CONSOLE

### direct log messages to stdout ###
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
#log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

log4j.appender.DATEDFILE=biz.minaret.log4j.DatedFileAppender
log4j.appender.DATEDFILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.DATEDFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.DATEDFILE.Prefix=arendeprocess.
log4j.appender.DATEDFILE.Suffix=.log
log4j.appender.DATEDFILE.Directory=//localhost/WebsphereLog/PandoraArendeWeb/

What is wrong?

This is definetely the error of the appender of type biz.minaret.log4j.DatedFileAppender.

I think you should check if it's possible to write to the directory //localhost/WebsphereLog/PandoraArendeWeb/. Was this directory created? Maybe you need to remove the slash from the end of the path like so:

log4j.appender.DATEDFILE.Directory=//localhost/WebsphereLog/PandoraArendeWeb

or even to make path relative like so:

log4j.appender.DATEDFILE.Directory=localhost/WebsphereLog/PandoraArendeWeb
