An access log is a text file which contains a thorough report on all of the files accessed by your website 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 visitor opens only the home page, for example, you might find plenty of files in the log. The reason is that there are elements on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, graphics, and so forth. These files will be listed inside the access log, so that you can get a full picture of the way your website performs. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are often referred to as "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More information, like the referrer Internet site, is typically supplied as well. A log file could be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your server.
