[TYPO3] cc_awstats and Geo::IP

[Katja Lampela]

Hi all,
I would like to activate the country statistics (from which country the
visitor is) in awstats and I tried to activate geoip in
*awstats/awstats.conf* file. The conf file states: Perl modules
required: Geo::IP (from Maxmind).

My question as a quite novice in server business is: could this be
installed in the server (maybe by me) and where and would it be used by
this cc_awstats which seem to be independent of the server's awstats(?).

Thank you for any input!

Hi Katja,

You can store the GeoIP databases anywhere you like, just make sure you refer to
that location in the awstats.conf file.

Your awstats extension in TYPO3 works independent from other awstats
installations on your server, but of course they could share the same GeoIP
database. I think /usr/share/GeoIP is the default location on most linux servers.

Hth,
Loek

Thanks Loek,
I tried this but can't get it to work.
In local T3 *awstats/awstats.conf I have

LoadPlugin="geoip GEOIP_STANDARD /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat"

and in the /usr/share/... I of course uploaded the GeoIP.dat file.

This brings the result:

*Error: Plugin load for plugin 'geoip' failed with return code: Error:

Hi Katja,

It seems like you need to install the PurePerl module.

That wouldn't make any difference at this point.

Hi L?k (would this be your real name? sorry if not)
This was a good link, tried it but didn't get it to work yet. My one
problem is I don't really know where to install the perl module. So I
installed it in a directory and referenced to it in the conf file and
changed also the path accordingly like the manual instructed and still
the error. Maybe I did something wrong anyway.
Well, as soon as I get time for this, I will dig into it again.
Thank you again very much for the help you "kirjoittied"!

Hello,

first you need to install the perl module (just as you would with any other perl module).
Then you edit typo3conf/ext/cc_awstats/awstats/awstats.conf.
Add or remove comment from this line:
LoadPlugin="geoip GEOIP_STANDARD /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat"

Of course you need to download the GeoIP.dat and change the path accordingly.
You can setup a chronjob to update this file monthly.

Hope it helps
Michael

Hi Michael,
and thanks for your input - this is what I have tried as you may see in
the other posts.
You see, I don't know anything about perl modules, this is the first
I've ever heard of them. But I will try :)

Okay. So the interesting part is wether pearl is already installed and which operating system you are running it on.
You've probably been on that page already:
