geo ip mod

[Destramic]

hey guys im after a but of help regarding installing the geo ip module...now im sorry of its in the wrong forum but i couldnt see where to put it but hopefully someone can help.

 

now i read a few tutorials copied and pasted a few lines into putty and my server has a 500 internal server error on it...so ive really messed it up.

 

i logged into putty

 

and used the following commands

mkdir /usr/share/GeoIP
cd /usr/share/GeoIP

wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
gzip -d GeoIP.dat.gz 

wget http://www.sohailriaz.com/downloads/custom_opt_mod-mod_geoip.tar.gz
tar -zxvf custom_opt_mod-mod_geoip.tar.gz

service httpd restart

.htaccess
-------
LoadModule geoip_module /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_geoip.so
GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat MemoryCache 

any advise on how i can repair my server and what it is i have done wrong please?

 

thank you guys

Have you looked at the server error logs yet?

ok well the log said:

 

[Mon Mar 16 13:00:05.984024 2015] [core:alert] [pid 32717:tid 140241604171520] [client 213.205.253.98:50627] /var/www/vhosts/bisi.bid/bisi.bid/.htaccess: LoadModule not allowed here

 

 

so i removed these lines from the .htaccess

LoadModule geoip_module /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_geoip.so
GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat MemoryCache 

these are the modules on the server

 

 

  core.c
  mod_so.c
  http_core.c
 

 

so im guessing i have installed the geoip module properly...what do you suggest i do please to get it installed?

 

thank you

You can still use those lines but you can't put them in the .htaccess. Try the virtualhost config instead; if you have multiple sites and more than one needs it, in the global config.

im able to put apache directives when using using my plesk contol panel

 

so i added this line

LoadModule geoip_module /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_geoip.so

but im getting a error:

Syntax error on line 1 of /var/www/vhosts/system/bisi.bid/conf/vhost.conf: 
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_geoip.so into server: /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_geoip.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

but i've installed geo_ip module using putty...what do you suggest i do now?

[requinix]

Make sure you put the file in the right place and that Apache can read it. Also make sure you've installed any dependencies there may be.

ok well i think im getting somewhere now...although im trying to include a .conf file to the servers .conf file

 

im using:

Include /var/www/vhosts/system/bisi.bid/conf/vhost.conf

but returns error

Syntax error on line 1 of /var/www/vhosts/system/bisi.bid/conf/vhost.conf:

now if i try to alter direcory to customer config then it says directory/file not found so i know what i'm trying to include is right but just getting errors.

 

my server uses plesk 12 and i've done what it says in the manual.

 

 

any ideas what the problem could be?

 

thank you
