Summary | 0000377: Build mod_geoip for Apache/2 | ||||
Description | See http://www.maxmind.com/app/mod_geoip . This module allows for the tracking of incoming IPs to country of origin, for use in blocking access as well as logging. | ||||
Additional Information | I've just looked at building this, and as usual, I'm in over my head (I really need to start smaller and work my way up). The first to be built is the API, located here: http://www.maxmind.com/app/c . This fails miserably for me, because I haven't found where to turn off IPv6 support (apparently), and instead of gracefully skipping over that for our platform, make sticks its tongue out at me. :-P Anyway, this is not a priority request, Paul. Just something to think about. What is surely more pressing is the PHP stack overflow from the MySQL module issue. ;-) Thanks! | ||||

this looks very tightly reliant on ipv6 - probably a bitch to port |
|
What's the *usual* approach to stubbing around that stuff at this point? Manually pick through the config and either comment out relevant portions or point to IPv4 headers when applicable? Are there no net-ipv6 and AF_INET6 "dummy" header files which could simply be used as placeholders? Forgive my naiveté; I'm just pondering this aloud... |
|
Well I worked around the ipv6 stuff in libgeoip-1.4.6 - next step to look at the apache2 module |
|
Not tested, but try http://smedley.info/modgeoip.zip |
|
Closed pending feedback on whether it works |
|
Looks like I may have missed my opportunity to download your test build, Paul. Now that tax season is over here in the States, I should have a little bit of time for testing things again. Thanks for the nudge! |
|
P.S. - My comment about missing my opportunity was to imply that I am unable to access the file as of right now. Please advise when it is available for download again. Thanks! |
|
file should be available again now |
|
Got it this time, Paul; thanks. Will test & follow up! |
|
This is going to take a little more time than I thought, as a result of a rather aggressive proxy setup on my firewall (which is resisting a configuration change to allow traffic to pass through unproxied and thus, expose the source IP, which is necessary for mod_geoip to work). I'll spend some time with my eCS virtual setup, and send traffic through clean to that. I'm working on it, though, Paul. Thanks for your time in building this. |
