Resolved How do I install the GeoIP

[Kingsley]

Hello;

I am using Piwik on my server and i was thinking if its possible to install the GEOIP extension so as to get the correct details of my web visitors.... my piwik installation uses PHP7

Here are the options

GeoIP (PECL) http://piwik.org/faq/how-to/#faq_164
GeoIP (HTTP Server Module) http://piwik.org/faq/how-to/#faq_165 (apache) http://piwik.org/faq/how-to/#faq_166 (nginx)

I already have GeoIP (Php) installed with maxmind database.

Hi Kingsley,

just install it with PECL ( https://pecl.php.net/package/geoip ) to your used Plesk PHP - version, as described in the Plesk Blog:

Adding Custom PHP Modules in Plesk ( Plesk developers blog article )​

It shoud be something like that:

yum install make plesk-php56-devel gcc php-pear php-devel httpd-devel GeoIP GeoIP-devel
/opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/pecl install geoip
echo "extension=geoip.so" > /opt/plesk/php/5.6/etc/php.d/geoip.ini
plesk bin php_handler --reread

yum install make plesk-php56-devel gcc php-pear php-devel httpd-devel GeoIP GeoIP-devel
/opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/pecl install geoip
echo "extension=geoip.so" > /opt/plesk/php/5.6/etc/php.d/geoip.ini
plesk bin php_handler --reread

I use Ubuntu 14.4 and PHP7 unless i will downgrade to 5.6

Just replace yum to apt-get and change some names of required packages for installation. All other commands are the same.

Will it work for PHP7?

Hi !
I've followed this thread to install GEOIP to my Plesk (17.0.17 on Debian 8) and it went well : I can see geoip enabled on Plesk's PHP setting.
But when I'm trying to run php function like
<?php print_r(geoip_record_by_name('php.net')); ?>

There's no output.

Any idea where the issue come from ?

Thanks

I can see geoip enabled on Plesk's PHP setting.

Is that when you run
<?php phpinfo() ?>
?

<?php phpinfo() ?>
?

I've already run

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and I can see GEOIP extension on the details.

Through plesk dashboard, on php setting, I can see too that the geoip checkbox is checked.

But when I run

<?php print_r(geoip_record_by_name('php.net')); ?>

The page remains empty

 

[Bitpalast]

Any information on it in the server''s error_log?

Yeah ! I was looking the wrong log so I didn't see this message ""NOTICE: PHP message: PHP Warning: geoip_record_by_name(): Required database not available at /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat"
So I've downloaded the GeoIP database and renamed it after the message and now its working !

Thanks !
