Is there a log file in Apache that will show me the IP address of clients logging into an application through the web? Apache is running on Linux. Thanks.

Yes. But its location will vary depending on your configuration.

Look in httpd.conf for CommonLog and TransferLog configuration directives. Those directories are the filenames to which Apache is logging.

You may have more than one of either of those directives -- Apache's logging directives can appear both in the general server configuration section an inside virtual host configurations.

Your acces log (usually /var/log/httpd/access_log or something like that) will have the IP address of each request.

Look in httpd.conf for something like
"CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined"
