An access log is a text file that contains a thorough report on all the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you may find plenty of files inside the log. It is because there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other pages, images, and so forth. All of these files shall be listed in the access log, so you're able to get a complete picture of the way your site works. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally called "raw data" as well. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. More info, including the referrer Internet site, is sometimes provided too. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your web server.
