Its a bug in ramlog ... which is fixed in dev version. Disable it and install again or move to nightly build and install again.

Or disable ramlog and recreate logs manually and start web server again.

This is a noob question, but I have to ask: How to disable ramlog? In which file & folder the logs/ramlog is located?
