--with-http_geoip_module not showing on my configure arguments

Posted on July 24, 2017

I need help on understanding how to configure geoip module on nginx web server, I’m using Centos 6.7 final.

This is the result of nginx -V

configure arguments: --user=nginx --group=nginx --prefix=/etc/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-pcre --with-file-aio --with-http_realip_module --without-http_scgi_module --without-http_uwsgi_module --without-http_fastcgi_module

I already did ./configure --with-http_geoip_module make && make install

The result is: make -f objs/Makefile make[1]: Entering directory /nginx-1.12.1' make[1]: Nothing to be done for build’. make[1]: Leaving directory /nginx-1.12.1' make -f objs/Makefile install make[1]: Entering directory /nginx-1.12.1’ test -d ‘/usr/local/nginx’ || mkdir -p ‘/usr/local/nginx’ test -d ‘/usr/local/nginx/sbin’
|| mkdir -p ‘/usr/local/nginx/sbin’ test ! -f ‘/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx’
|| mv ‘/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx’
‘/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx.old’ cp objs/nginx ‘/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx’ test -d ‘/usr/local/nginx/conf’

‘/usr/local/nginx/conf/scgi_params.default’ test -f ‘/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf’
|| cp conf/nginx.conf ‘/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf’ cp conf/nginx.conf ‘/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf.default’ test -d ‘/usr/local/nginx/logs’
|| mkdir -p ‘/usr/local/nginx/logs’ test -d ‘/usr/local/nginx/logs’
|| mkdir -p ‘/usr/local/nginx/logs’ test -d ‘/usr/local/nginx/html’
|| cp -R html ‘/usr/local/nginx’ test -d ‘/usr/local/nginx/logs’
|| mkdir -p ‘/usr/local/nginx/logs’ make[1]: Leaving directory `/nginx-1.12.1’

Checked again the nginx -V. --with_http_geoip_module is still not showing on configure argumets.

How do I know if the module is already loaded?

Hi @meowmanijado

Did you have a look at this tutorial? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-compile-nginx-from-source-on-a-centos-6-4-x64-vps

Also found this tutorial, which doesn’t go into as many details, but still seems easy: http://www.leeladharan.com/compiling-nginx-with-modules-pagespeed-and-geoip
