Apache error log is not related. maintenance scripts (such as ./maintenance/update.php) are command-line scripts. They can not be run from the web server (access blcoked).

You need shell access to the server to run these scripts.

Update.php is a special case though. It is the only maintenance script (together with install.php) that have a way to run them from the web browser. That is by navigating to ./mw-config/ in your wiki directory (e.g. http://example.org/w/mw-config). Then follow the on-screen instructions.
