[issue2551017] Error when configuring New -L (loghttpvialogger) option

New submission from Matt:

Hi I am receiving an error when I am attempting to configure the new
logging with rotation. I have configured the settings as follows:

1) Added entry to config.ini: config = logs\logging.ini
2) Created the above file in my logs folder exactly as on the web page:
[loggers]
keys=roundup.http

[logger_roundup.http]
level=INFO
handlers=rotate_weblog
qualname=roundup.http
propagate=0

[handlers]
keys=rotate_weblog

[handler_rotate_weblog]
class=logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
args=('httpd.log','a', 512000, 2)
formatter=plain

[formatters]
keys=plain

[formatter_plain]
format=%(message)s

and am getting the following error on service startup. I am running on
windows.

The instance's SvcRun() method failed 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py",

    self.load(config_path)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\roundup\configuration.py", line
1635, in load
    self.init_logging()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\roundup\configuration.py", line
1609, in init_logging
    logging.config.fileConfig(_file)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\logging\config.py", line 86, in fileConfig
    _install_loggers(cp, handlers, disable_existing_loggers)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\logging\config.py", line 190, in _install_loggers
    llist.remove("root")
ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list 
%2: %3

If i comment out the line in the config.ini config = logs\logging.ini
then the service starts successfully.
