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