Reset to default

Use deflog on instead of log on.

From the manpage:

 deflog on|off

   Same as the log command except that the default setting for new windows is changed. Initial setting is off.

If you really want to use log on, you need to first select a window with screen 0, but be aware this configuration does not configure logging for all windows...
