http://nginx.org/r/access_log

: The file path can contain variables (0.7.6+), but such logs have some
: constraints:
: 
: - the user whose credentials are used by worker processes should have
: permissions to create files in a directory with such logs;
: 
: - buffered writes do not work;
: 
: - the file is opened and closed for each log write. However, since the
: descriptors of frequently used files can be stored in a cache, writing to the
: old file can continue during the time specified by the open_log_file_cache
: directive’s valid parameter
: 
: - during each log write the existence of the request’s root directory is
: checked, and if it does not exist the log is not created. It is thus a good
: idea to specify both root and access_log on the same level:
