How to Access Raw Access Logs

  1. Login to cPanel and click the Raw Access Logs icon.
  2. Click the name of the domain or subdomain you wish to view. (If you want to see the stats for an addon domain, just click the corresponding subdomain name.)
  3. Click on Save to save the log to the directory shown by your browser’s save file window.
  4. Extract the downloaded file with WinZip (or another program which extracts .gz files).
  5. To view the log, open it with MS Word or WordPad (or any text reader which can interpret line breaks).

The raw logs can also be opened with a web statistics program of your choice (like WebLog Expert). The program will add graphics, charts, and other features.
