If there is no harm in making the apache error log readable by all others on your system you
chmod o+r /var/log/apache2/error.log
Edit /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 and look for or add a line that says create 640 root adm and change that also to something appropriate like create 644 root adm.
It would be less secure to put everyone in the group of the apache daemon (say www-data). A better option would be to use ACL's (see man setfacl) and allow very specific access to the file.
