Web FAQ 4.03. I want to keep a log of who accessed my Web page and how they found it?

Unfortunately, we do not have a provision for making our access_logs available to users. The server does not create a separate log file for each directory; therefore, the log file is extremely large. In order for a person to access the logs for his/her directories, he/she would have to scan through the entire log file and extract the relevant entries. If we allowed every person maintaining pages on our server to do this, severe performance problems would result.
Right now, the only way you can obtain "similar" information is by running a
CGI script (for details regarding CGI scripts, see FAQ section 5). Use
one of the Web search engines to find a script or create one yourself. An
example of a CGI script that creates a log file each month can be accessed at:

After you find the script that you would like to use, go to FAQ 5.3 for the instructions on how to install the script into your Web page.
