=========================================================================== Requirements: Apache 2.0.40 or higher installed If using RPM, the httpd-devel package containing apxs may need to be installed GeoIP 1.4.3 or higher installed, download from http://maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/c =========================================================================== To build mod_geoip as a dynamically loadable module: apxs -i -a -L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include -lGeoIP -c mod_geoip.c -I/usr/local/include is where the GeoIP.h header file is installed -L/usr/local/lib is where the libGeoIP library is located This will put the correct LoadModule statement. You will need to add: =========================================================================== Configuration To enable the module, place <IfModule mod_geoip.c> GeoIPEnable On </IfModule> inside your httpd.conf file. ( You don't have to have the <IfModule> block, but it's always a good idea. ( You can optionally specify the data file by using: <IfModule mod_geoip.c> GeoIPEnable On GeoIPDBFile /usr/tmp/GeoIP.dat </IfModule> ) See the README file for more details on the configuration =========================================================================== Troubleshooting On RedHat 9, apxs places LoadModule geoip_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_geoip.so Inside a <IfModule worker.c> </IfModule> Block. If mod_geoip doesn't work, try taking the LoadModule geoip_module line outside the <IfModule worker.c> block. If you get the following errors: parse error before "geoip_module" warning: data definition has no type or storage class Or syntax error before "geoip_module" Make sure that the apxs script belongs to the Apache server you are using. These error messages result from using a Apache 1.3 apxs script with a Apache 2.x server. If you get a "libGeoIP.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error, add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf then run /sbin/ldconfig /etc/ld.so.conf
