Installing mod_geoip (maxmind)

[furimedia]

Hi

I need to install mod_geoip (maxmind) module.

What is the correct procedure to this?

I'm confused because on the Litespeed admin, it also have option where I can enable this mod_geoip thing. Does that mean Litespeed already have this built-in and I don't have to compile this module myself?

Please let me know how I can get this thing running on my servers.

THank you!

Just configure it under LSWS web console.

http://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/webserver/config/general/#geolocationDB

It will set the same environment variables just like Apache mod_geoip.

Hi George,

Thank you for your response.

But I have one quick question, what would I enter in the IP to Geolocation DB as well as on the DB File Path/DB Cache Type?

I'm not very familiar with this module so if you could just give me some pointers here that would be very appreciative.

Thank you again.

Please read the document first. It pretty much match the configuration in mod_geoip, so you can read mod_geoip document as well.

Okay but what I want to know is....

For apache, the maxmind geoip states I need to compile it using apxs.

I know apxs is strictly for Apache and not available with Litespeed(?), so how would I go about doing this?

The function has been built into LSWS already, you do not need to compile anything, just add the configuration, it will work.
