An access log is a text file which contains a complete list of all 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 program and a visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find plenty of files inside the log. The reason is that there are resources on the home page that are embedded - parts of other web pages, images, etc. These files shall be listed inside the access log, so you can get a detailed picture of the way your site works. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently described as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. More info, like the referrer site, is sometimes supplied too. A log file may be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your web server.
