Looking at this post [1] you might have to import the FileOutputter as well. Not really sure.
I think it's an import issue when the other server works fine. Just try to import everything you might possibly use from Log4r and make sure you don't call in [1] mentioned functions directly on the logger somewhere else.
If that does not work, try setting up a simple logger programmatically, then move that logger to the .yml and then expand it back to where it was before.
Hope this helps you, let me know if you need more help
