GeoIP and mod_geoip2

[brgsstm]

Hi guy's,

I am running Webalizer on my CentOS Linode to view stats for each site I host. I wanted to patch Webalizer with the Geolizer patch so that the location of visitors is more precise.

I found that I would need GeoIP and mod_geoip2 installed first so I found this guide.

How to install GeoIP and mod_geoip2 on centos for apache

1) yum install GeoIP GeoIP-devel GeoIP-data zlib-devel

2) mkdir /usr/local/share/GeoIP

3) Download the latest Country and City database files from maxmind

cd /usr/local/share/GeoIP
wget (link to) /GeoIP.dat.gz
wget (link to) /GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
gunzip GeoLiteCity.dat.gz

4) yum install httpd-devel apr-devel

5) wget (link to) /mod_geoip2_1.2.5.tar.gz

6) tar xvzf mod_geoip2_1.2.5.tar.gz && cd mod_geoip2_1.2.5

7) apxs -i -a -L/usr/lib64 -I/usr/include -lGeoIP -c mod_geoip.c

Enabling mod-geoip
Nothing’s going to work unless mod-geoip is enabled in your apache configuration. You’ll need the following lines in your httpd.conf file (located on CentOS systems at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)

<IfModule mod_geoip.c>
GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat Standard
GeoIPDBFile /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat Standard
</IfModule>

9) Restart Apache so your changes will take effect by entering the following command.

#/etc/init.d/httpd restart

10) /usr/local/bin/geoipupdate

I followed it step by step but I am getting the following output at step 7:

.


To be honest I don't even know what the step 7 command does (stupid I know )

Does anyone have any info on what this does and also where I am going wrong?

Thanks,

Tom

Do you know if you are on 32-bit vs 64-bit?

uname -a

Your apxs command is compiling against 64-bit libraries (or trying to, based upon the -L/usr/lib64 argument).

Hi, thanks for the reply. It is a 32 bit distribution.

I had wondered about that line

Thanks,

Tom
