OK, so much for me giving people advice....

I now have GEOIP installed in my apache and environment, and I get this above error. What am I missing????

Can you 'backport' this to 3.8 and release it? I have a client who would love something like this.

Does GeoIP show up in phpinfo() for you?

docvader

No, it shows up in Apache as a mod, and in the environment. They installed the Apache end of it, not the PHP end. According to Maxmind, it's another way of doing it, but, apparently, it doesn't work.

I've asked them to put the PHP extension in for geoip. we're using Linux. Finding the right directions for Linux was not clear; if you have a good link, I'd appreciate it.

On step 3 (http://www.maxmind.com/app/api), they used Apache Module (mod_geoip) as the API. Everything works great at my forum.

Sadly there isn't a way around needing some sort of geotargetting mechanism though. I thought about making it geotarget against my servers for people, but then people would complain about privacy and such with all the geotargetting requests going to a central server. Can't make everyone happy unfortunately. :)

will that work with a VPS?

Just used YUM to grab the latest geoip packages (theres two you need), then just made sure the folder with the geoip.so was in my included path, restarted apache, and np :)

Well, depending on the operating system you are running for your server, there probably is a pre-packaged RPM installer for it.

I just compiled mine from source...

Install the libraries by downloading and compiling as per the instructions here:
http://www.maxmind.com/app/c

Then download and compile/install the PHP module for it:
http://pecl.php.net/package/geoip

For my installation, the GeoCity .dat files go into /usr/local/share/GeoIP/ (I think that's the default... don't think I would have changed the path for them).

You can download the .dat files from:
http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/...y/GeoIP.dat.gz
http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/...iteCity.dat.gz

i had to manually compile from source as above but also rename GeoLiteCity.dat to GeoIPCity.dat & copy it to /var/lib/GeoIP

i was probably doing it wrong though

installed & working just fine now. thanks!

(& thanks also for your vb optimisation article at digitalpoint)

digitalpoint

06-12-2010 06:40 PM

Yeah... they changed the name of their .dat file they distribute a few months ago for some reason and they haven't updated the libraries to reflect that. Not sure why they changed the name of the file, but renaming it to the old name works fine (as you found).

thanks for all the extra info.
Got it working. Great job DP

Same problem??? Why won't it work?

pretty sure the windows version will need the .dat file too

Is there any way to completely exclude guests from this mod? It eats up a huge amount of resources, but is of no relevance to our full time members.

docvader

06-12-2010 10:46 PM

Boko, that GeoLiteCity.dat file needs to be in usr/local/share/ directory, and it needs to be renamed to GeoIPCity.dat.

What resources is it overloading on your server?

No, sorry... I don't run any 3.x forums, so...

Would the map be able to show usernames and link to profile? Maybe for staff groups only, or all users, but a configurable option for that could be handy.

Hi all great mod and like the idea of it. However I have an issue. IT won't show up. I tried using Firefox and IE8. The page will display but no map.

In IE8 there is an error icon in the bottom left stating Done but with errors. When clicked I get this error message:

Quote:

Webpage error details

Message: Syntax error
Line: 369
Char: 41
Code: 0
URI: http://www.gamershosting.net/usermap.php

In my phpinfo.php it shows this:

Quote:

geoip
geoip support enabled
geoip extension version 1.0.7
geoip library version 1004006

Directive Local Value Master Value
geoip.custom_directory no value no value

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I am getting similar errors as above.

In IE8 a blank page, with these errors:

Did the USERMAP template not get installed somehow or something (the package installer should have done it automatically). Search your templates for a template named "USERMAP".

I had an install error for the database.

all fixed now. Thanks!

Good app.

Hi,

thanks for sharing this. I really like that your are using GeoIP. Unfortunately this map won`t be very useful for my community members without showing the usernames in the bubbles. So I dare to ask if you could add this as an option in a future release.

thank you - all the best,
Sacha

It intentionally doesn't show username. It's not a tool to track down/stalk users... and revealing a user's exact location with info that ties them to who they are specifically (username) just runs into all sorts of privacy issues.

I get your point and agree. The vBmembermap showed the names in the bubbles but it allowed the users to choose if and where their markers were set and I understand that this makes a big difference to the way your plugin is working. But yours the only one working for vB4 so I guess you`ll receive a couple more requests like mine ;-).

all the best,
Sacha

Yeah, this one is automatic and not an opt-in system where the user can choose to set their location arbitrarily. Instead it just does it and the user can't hide or lie about it to the public. So that's where the privacy issues can potentially come into play. Imagine if you could look at any Facebook profile and know exactly where they last logged in from. :)

Very nice, works great except that it only shows guests (yellow pins) and spiders (white pins). Even when I pick "show yourself" it shows the correct area but no pin whatsoever... any ideas?

Alright... I have error on line 100 too.

I have GeoIP.dat in /share/ directory. I uploaded it there manually.

http://www.maxmind.com/app/installation?city=1

I don't get why is there "GeoIP-133_20051201.tar.gz"

And I just figured out there's old installation which is in /usr/share and not /usr/local/share

KevinL

09-01-2010 03:22 PM

OK I am having an issue with this.

GeoIP is installed in PHPinfo I can see it. I installed this and I go to usermap and I see everything but the actual map. I changed the settings and everything but nothing. I am not even getting an error.

What did I do wrong? lol
