An access log is a text file containing a complete list of all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you might find plenty of files in the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other pages, pics, etcetera. All these files shall be listed in the access log, allowing you to get a detailed picture of the way your website functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently referred to as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. More info, like the referrer site, is sometimes provided too. A log file may be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics created by your server.
