Installing the GeoIP Apache module

This module allows you to determine which country, region, city, postal code, area code the visitor is coming from.

1. Install the module

apt-get install libapache2-mod-geoip


2. Restart Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart


3. Create a new PHP file to test the module (pico /var/www/test.php or any file you can access on your server)

<?php
print_r($_SERVER);
?>


4. Navigate to the new file in a web browser (http://yourserver/test.php)

The response will be something like this:

Array
(
[GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE] => GB
[GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME] => United Kingdom
...
)
