Dear Sir, Mod GeoIP is not working on my cPanel server with nDeploy. Please help me.

Thanks

The geoip module is shipped in the rpm and enabled. But the settings are commented out as you need to install GeoIP itself and include its path

Please check /etc/nginx/conf.d/http_settings.conf

You will see

# GeoIP
# Uncomment to enable
#geoip_country         /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCountry.dat;
#geoip_city            /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat;

You need to point the dat files to the correct location where its installed.

I have already do this.

# GeoIP
# Uncomment to enable
geoip_country /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;

check https://natokhd.com/phpinfo.php GeoIP showing wrong information.

Before using nDeploy, I was installed GeoIP following https://www.mattgibson.ca/compiling-mod_geoip2-use-easyapache-4-ea4-cpanel/ the tutorial. I use the latest cPanel/WHM with EA4.

nginx pass the info to php using fastcgi_params in /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params

#GeoIP
fastcgi_param GEOIP_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_country_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME $geoip_country_name;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_REGION $geoip_region;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_REGION_NAME $geoip_region_name;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY $geoip_city;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_AREA_CODE $geoip_area_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_LATITUDE $geoip_latitude;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_LONGITUDE $geoip_longitude;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE $geoip_postal_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_ORGANIZATION $geoip_org;

I see that you are using proxy to apache..in that case the information in geoip is not passed to apache directly ..but apache use the connecting IP (which is nginx in this case )

You need to adjust your apache geoip settings to consider the proxy

http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/mod_geoip2/#Proxy-Related_Directives

or you can switch to a PHP backend in which case nginx will directly serve content and get geoip info forwarded via fastcgi_params to php-fpm

[mhhakim]

If I switch PHP backend, url rewrite rule doesn't work. I already learned that I need to make rewrite rule working for nginx. Can you tell me what will be the file name of nginx rewrite rule? eg: in apache there .htaccess, what should be on nginx?

Please use the plugin user interface from cpanel. You can switch to MANUAL mode in plugin and add custom rewrite rules
