I encountered the same error in my web app. I fixed it by following the instructions in the Velocity Developer's Guide in the section on "Using Log4j With Existing Logger":
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/developer-guide.html#usinglog4jwithexistingloggerAs soon as I set properties for RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS and "runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.logger" the problem went away.

I have used Velocity in my web application.
I am not using any "velocity.properties" file as loading the file was
becoming a problem.
So to initialize VelocityEngine the code used is as follows:
VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
ve.setProperty("resource.loader", "webapp");
ve.setProperty("webapp.resource.loader.class","org.apache.velocity.tools
.view.servlet.WebappLoader");
ve.setProperty("webapp.resource.loader.path","/WEB-INF/templates/");
ve.setApplicationAttribute("javax.servlet.ServletContext",this.servlet.g
etServletContext());
ve.init();
While the web application works fine on my local host, but when it was
deployed on to the test application server, it gave the following error
Error Code 500
Message Failed to initialize an instance of
org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.Log4JLogChute with the current runtime
configuration.
Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to avoid this error?
