dapper sudo

[Gérard BIGOT]

because you really do 'cat /dev/null' in root. And you try to do
"result of the previous command" > /var/log/apache2/error.log in user
mode. That's wrong for a user.

So do 'sudo -s' to open  a shell as root, and type directly cat
/dev/null >  /var/log/apache2/error.log.

Or you  could create a script with cat /dev/null >  /var/log/apache2/error.log.
And type sudo test.sh
