nginx - can't get geoip to work

Lockheed · 2014-06-18 09:32:56

I followed this guide: http://www.nginxtips.com/how-to-install … ip-module/

I am using geoip-enabled NGINX compilation, I have the libraries installed

# ldconfig -v | grep GeoIP
	libGeoIPUpdate.so.0 -> libGeoIPUpdate.so.0.0.0
	libGeoIP.so.1 -> libGeoIP.so.1.5.1

and yet when I create a test.php file

<html>
<body>
<?php

$geoip_country_code = getenv(GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE);
/*
$geoip_country_code = $_SERVER['GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE']; // works as well
*/
$geoip_country_code3 = getenv(GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE3);
$geoip_country_name = getenv(GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME);

$geoip_city_country_code = getenv(GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE);
$geoip_city_country_code3 = getenv(GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE3);
$geoip_city_country_name = getenv(GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_NAME);
$geoip_region = getenv(GEOIP_REGION);
$geoip_city = getenv(GEOIP_CITY);
$geoip_postal_code = getenv(GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE);
$geoip_city_continent_code = getenv(GEOIP_CITY_CONTINENT_CODE);
$geoip_latitude = getenv(GEOIP_LATITUDE);
$geoip_longitude = getenv(GEOIP_LONGITUDE);

echo 'country_code: '.$geoip_country_code.'<br>';
echo 'country_code3: '.$geoip_country_code3.'<br>';
echo 'country_name: '.$geoip_country_name.'<br>';

echo 'city_country_code: '.$geoip_city_country_code.'<br>';
echo 'city_country_code3: '.$geoip_city_country_code3.'<br>';
echo 'city_country_name: '.$geoip_city_country_name.'<br>';
echo 'region: '.$geoip_region.'<br>';
echo 'city: '.$geoip_city.'<br>';
echo 'postal_code: '.$geoip_postal_code.'<br>';
echo 'city_continent_code: '.$geoip_city_continent_code.'<br>';
echo 'latitude: '.$geoip_latitude.'<br>';
echo 'longitude: '.$geoip_longitude.'<br>';

?>
</body>
</html>

to check if geoip works, all I get in return is this:

 country_code:
country_code3:
country_name:
city_country_code:
city_country_code3:
city_country_name:
region:
city:
postal_code:
city_continent_code:
latitude:
longitude:

I can't figure out what's wrong. Every other php site/function I have installed, works just fine.

I am having trouble with the official nginx package (currently 1.8.0-1) and the GeoIP module as well. I can see in the PKGBUILD that the GeoIP module is included in the configuration, however when I run "nginx -V" the geoip module is missing. Could this be a problem with the nginx package itself?

Hi rusty2, welcome to the Arch Linux forums.

This is an old thread, and we discourage necrobumping. Please try to avoid doing so in the future.

To answer your question: it's not a problem, per se. The package simply hasn't been rebuilt since that dependency was added to the PKGBUILD. I suspect that the maintainer is awaiting the next upstream release to make that extra dependency a part of the official package. However, you would need to email the maintainer and ask them directly to be sure.

As this is a necrobump, I'm going to close it now. If you have further questions regarding nginx, please open a new topic.

Closing.
