An access log is a text file which contains a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for example, you might find numerous files in the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, graphics, and so on. All these files will be listed within the access log, so that you can get a complete picture of the way your website functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally described as "raw data" as well. An access log shows 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, web browser and Operating System. More info, like the referrer Internet site, is oftentimes included too. A log file may be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your hosting server.
