An access log is a text file which contains a full report on all the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens only the home page, for example, you may find a lot of files in the log. It is because there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, images, and so on. All these files shall be listed within the access log, so that you can get a detailed picture of the way your website works. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently termed "raw data" as well. 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, world-wide web browser and Operating System. Additional information, such as the referrer site, is sometimes provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your website hosting server.
