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

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?

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
Hi @hansen,
I guess its been loaded now. I tried to compile it inside nginx ./configure folder. My problem now is geoip_city is not working tho I checked geoip_country_code and it seems no problem.
I also did nginx -t, and the result is successful. I have no idea why geoip_city is not working.
@jtittle Do you have one of your compile instructions handy, so you can help with this?
