An access log is a text file containing a complete report on all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens just the home page, for example, you may find plenty of files in the log. This is because there are components on the home page that are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, and so on. All of these files shall be listed in the access log, so that you can get a full picture of the way your Internet site performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are often referred to as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, browser and OS. Additional information, such as the referrer website, is usually supplied too. A log file could be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your website hosting server.
