ERROR when starting namenode and datanode on log4j.appender.RFA

When I start namenode : service hadoop-hdfs-namenode start

 

The outputs are : 

starting namenode, logging to /var/log/hadoop-hdfs/hadoop-hdfs-namenode-quickstart.cloudera.out
log4j:ERROR Could not find value for key log4j.appender.RFA
log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "RFA".
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.
Started Hadoop namenode: [ OK ]

 

As you can see the namenode started but for the datanode : 

[root@quickstart etc]# service hadoop-hdfs-datanode start
starting datanode, logging to /var/log/hadoop-hdfs/hadoop-hdfs-datanode-quickstart.cloudera.out
log4j:ERROR Could not find value for key log4j.appender.RFA
log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "RFA".
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.
Failed to start Hadoop datanode. Return value: 1 [FAILED]

 

Could anybody tell me how can I fix it ?

I'm using VMPlayer and CDH4 on Windows 7.

Thank you in advance for your help.
