My Ubuntu vitual server wen't offline. I rebooted it and now want to debug what happened.
I can browse to /etc/log but if I try cd apache2 it says Permission denied. I'm sure my user account has priviliges.
I also tried sudo cd apache2 which gives the the error sudo: cd: command not found
How can I access the apache logs? I also tried via sftp without success
PS I am new to linux and virtual servers, but I am keen to learn everything I can.

You need to add your username to the group adm
sudo usermod -aG adm YourUserName
You can then access the logfiles as normal user without sudo.
Try:
sudo cat /var/log/apache2/error.log
You can log in as root user:
sudo su
And then you are able to do:
cd apache2
