It's clear what it is you're trying to do, but If you're running
Apache, turn on
CustomLog "logs/access_log" combined
The default is
CustomLog "logs/access_log" common
It will not only log the browser type, it will also log the OS in the
access_log file.
For errors accessing files, see the error_log.
If the client can't reach the site, then it should be clear the server
won't be able to log the attempt.
