Have you tried to reload uhttpd (/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart)?

Yes, I has been reboot my router

Sorry, 'ram' is '/tmp', it is cleared after reboot.
Is list of installed packages saved after reboot?
opkg list-installed

My opkg.conf

root@OpenWrt:/mnt# cat /etc/opkg.conf

dest usb /mnt/usb
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /overlay
root@OpenWrt:/mnt#

extroot-overlay ( or extroot generally ) is the right thing to use here unless your competent in altering PATH / linking www source etc. etc.
