Check your log dir settings:-
grep -i log_dir /etc/apache2/envvars
Mine all have:-
export APACHE_LOG_DIR=/var/log/apache2$SUFFIX
Which is what I suspect yours is... - so check your permissions.
Mine:-
ls -al /var/log/apache2
total 208
drwxr-x--- 2 root adm 4096 Dec 16 12:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Dec 29 16:00 ..
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 2829 Dec 16 12:37 access.log
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 132561 Dec 29 16:00 error.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49300 Dec 28 19:05 other_vhosts_access.log
