1. mkdir /home/uruser/geoip
cd /home/uruser/geoip
2. Download and install library:
wget http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/…/c/GeoIP.tar.gz
http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/c/GeoIP-1.3.4.tar.gz
tar xzfv GeoIP.tar.gz
cd GeoIP*
./configure
make
make check
make install
cd ..
3. Download and build Module:
mkdir mod_geoip
cd mod_geoip
wget http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/mod_geoip/mod_geoip_1.2.9.tar.gz
Download: http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/mod_geoip/
wget http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/mod_geoip/mod_geoip_1.2.9.tar.gz
tar xzfv mod_geoip_1.1.1.tar.gz
cd mod_geoip_1.1.1
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -cia -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lGeoIP mod_geoip.c
4. Add /usr/local/lib as a loadable dynamic link:
edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/lib at the bottom so it looks like this:
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/local/lib
Then execute /sbin/ldconfig /etc/ld.so.conf
5. Review httpd.conf . You should have seen a backup of the httpd.conf has been made when building the module as mod_geoip info has been inserted.
You’ll find 2 lines inserted about mod_geoip.
First one:
LoadModule geoip_module lib/apache/mod_geoip.so
change to
LoadModule geoip_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_geoip.so
Add below that line:
GeoIPEnable On
the the second line is OK … just move it to the AddModule section to keep httpd.conf pretty:)
AddModule mod_geoip.c
6. Go and restart Apache and you should not get any error.
service httpd restart.
