I got exactly the same error. What I did was the following:

log on via telnet as admin, then su to root
cd /var/log/httpd
rm access
touch access
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Then the logs of one or two days are lost, but new logs will start.

Let me know if it works and if you need any further help

Good luck!!
Florian
