oops, found another reason ...
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error initializing Velocity:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /WEB-INF/velocity.properties (No such file or
directory)
org.apache.velocity.servlet.VelocityServlet.initVelocity(VelocityServlet.java:197)
org.apache.velocity.servlet.VelocityServlet.init(VelocityServlet.java:162)
org.roller.presentation.velocity.BasePageServlet.init(BasePageServlet.java:52)
looks like the VelocityServlet tries to read the velocity properties via a
FileInputStream :(
