Ok, so my server is a shared server, and they will not install GeoIP.

Here's the conversation thread:
I'm attemping to install a mod to my vBulletin 4 forum - www.pbriot.com.

The mod is:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=digital+point

You can see an example of what the mod does here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/usermap.php

The instructions for the mod indicate that I must have GeoIP (a free PHP script) installed on my server. I'm not sure if this is something I can do myself, or not, but simply uploading the files via FTP for GeoIP didn't do the trick (surprise, surprise ).

The error I am getting is this:

Please let me know what I can do to get this up and running, thank you for your help!

They respond:
I'm sorry, but our servers don't meet the pre-requisite software requirements needed in order to run geoip. You're free to experiment with compiling/installing these requirements in your own account, however that is not something that we will be able to assist with.

Let us know if we can help with anything else, or if you have any additional questions.



When I asked further, it was basically "we need to maintain the same environment on all 2500+ servers, and we can't implement a massive thing like that for your request"

At any rate - he suggested that I could try installing myself... I just have no clue how to do that - any ideas - can you point me in the right direction, anyone? Thanks!
