installing geoip is pretty easy but sometime its a bit tricky. To ensure I’m not going to the same mistake, I do the following notes. Perhaps can help those facing same tricky mistake.

1. Install libgeoip-dev

aptitude install libgeoip-dev

2. Compile your nginx and include –with-http_geoip_module

./configure --with-http_geoip_module

Verify your nginx installation by typing

nginx -V

Watch –with-http_geoip_module . If you can see –with-http_geoip_module in your nginx -V result, thats mean geoip module successfully installed.

3. Create geoip directory in your nginx directory, /etc/nginx/geoip

cd /etc/nginx
sudo mkdir geoip
cd geoip

4. Download geoip data and extract

sudo wget http:// geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
sudo wget http:// geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
sudo gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
sudo gunzip GeoLiteCity.dat.gz

5. Edit you nginx.conf

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

and add the following code

http{
...
geoip_country /etc/nginx/geoip/GeoIP.dat;
geoip_city /etc/nginx/geoip/GeoLiteCity.dat;
...

6. Edit fastcgi_params

sudo nano /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params

and add the following code

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

7. Make sure you have this line of code include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; in your location ~ \.php$ {}

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

...
location ~ \.php$ {
...
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
..
}

8. Restart nginx

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
