--with-http_geoip_module not showing on my configure arguments

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-httpgzipstaticmodule –with-httpstubstatusmodule –with-httpsslmodule –with-pcre –with-file-aio –with-httprealipmodule –without-httpscgimodule –without-httpuwsgimodule –without-httpfastcgimodule

I already did
./configure –with-httpgeoipmodule
make && make install

The result is:
make -f objs/Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory /nginx-1.12.1'
make[1]: Nothing to be done forbuild’.
make[1]: Leaving directory /nginx-1.12.1'
make -f objs/Makefile install

|| 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. –withhttpgeoip_module is still not showing on configure argumets.

How do I know if the module is already loaded?

    @jtittle Do you have one of your compile instructions handy, so you can help with this?

    Hi @hansen,

    I guess its been loaded now. I tried to compile it inside nginx ./configure folder. My problem now is geoipcity is not working tho I checked geoipcountry_code and it seems no problem.

    http {
    geoip_country  /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;
    geoip_city     /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat;

    // Working
    map $geoip_country_code $not_allowed_country {
        default no;
        US yes;
    }

    // Not working
    map $geoip_city $not_allowed_city {
        default no;
        Shanghai yes;
    }
}

server {
    if ($not_allowed_city = yes) {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ https://myurl.com redirect;
    }
}

    I also did nginx -t, and the result is successful. I have no idea why geoip_city is not working.

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:

    Hi @hansen ,

    I tried the last one, but I’m stuck on compiling. I used this code from that link your provide

    ./configure –prefix=/etc/nginx –sbindir=/usr/sbin –sysconf=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf –error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log –http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log –pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid –lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock –http-client-body-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/clienttemp –http-proxy-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/proxytemp –http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/fastcgitemp –http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/uwsgitemp –http-scgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/scgitemp –user=nginx –group=nginx –with-httpsslmodule –with-httprealipmodule –with-httpadditionmodule –with-httpsubmodule –with-httpdavmodule –with-httpflvmodule –with-httpmp4module –with-httpgunzipmodule –with-httpgzipstaticmodule –with-httprandomindexmodule –with-httpsecurelinkmodule –with-httpstubstatusmodule –with-httpauthrequestmodule –with-mail –with-mailsslmodule –with-file-aio –with-ipv6 –with-httpspdymodule –with-httpgeoipmodule –with-cc-opt=’-O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-DFORTIFYSOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector –param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic’

    I removed the pagespeed script because I don’t need it. I’m getting the unrecognized option error. For example

    configure: error: unrecognized option: –pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid

    I also checked the ./configure –help but I’m not sure what is the correct option for this directory and the following.

    FYI. I’m inside the GeoIP-1.4.8 folder, wondering if ./configure options is not the same on nginx.
