The problem is the logs are owned by root. How can I make them readable by this generic id without completely compromising security?
You can either change owner or make it readable to more than just root. I don't see this as a security problem.
Plus, as
the logs rotate this id will still need access.
This can be accomodated with logrotate configuration if that is also rotating your user's file which I don't know. Look in /etc/logrotate.d for the apache file. You can change owner, chmod etc. in that file.
