Are you logged in as the user root ?
Can you login using Putty/command line using SSH into the server and post the output of the following command ?
ls -ald /etc/httpd/logsls -ald /var/log/Twitter : http://twitter.com/eth1networks

I think you are login as username which doesn't have privellges, so login as root and run following command at shell prompt.
tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
Apache error logs directory on cpanel: /usr/local/apache/logs/
other important logs files can be found in /var/log directory

As others have said it looks like a permission issue. Try to open the file through SSH and make sure you have su (root) permissions to eliminate any possibility that your current account is restricted.
