> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configurators, Core

> When a configuration contains a FileAppender and a RollingRandomAccessFileAppender that target the same file, the below error occurs.
> Admittedly the configuration is wrong, but the error message is misleading or at least not helpful for users. Without intimate understanding of the Log4j internals (how FileManagers work) it is almost impossible to determine that the below error is caused by a misconfiguration, what the problem is and how to fix it.
