An access log is a text file that contains a complete list of all the files accessed by your website visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find numerous files inside the log. This is because there are resources on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, graphics, etc. These files will be listed within the access log, so you can get a full picture of the way your site works. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are often referred to as "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. Additional information, including the referrer website, is oftentimes supplied too. A log file could be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your website hosting server.
