Hello,<\/p>\n
i had to check which country some visitors come from when visiting a website and i remembered that awstats (statistik tool) uses a plugin called GeoIP. But awstats is written in perl and i asked myself if the extension does not exist for php and guess what: it exists! Here is a small howto to install it on CentOS:<\/p>\n
I found GeoIP in a third-party repository named EPEL. Check here<\/a> if you want to now how to install the repository. So now to the installation:<\/p>\n # yum install gcc php-pear geoip geoip-devel After that you only have to add following line to your php.ini or create geoip.ini in your php.d directory with following content:<\/p>\n extension=geoip.so<\/p>\n Now restart the webserver and you are good to go. Only one note left: geoip is compiled with your actual running php version, so if you upgrade it you have to recompile your geoip installation.<\/p>\n
\n\t# pecl install geoip<\/em><\/p>\n
