We have just started to work with Nginx and have installed by adding the nginx repositry to our debian 7 installs. It works almost perfectly out of the box as such. However we need to add GeoIP support, so the question is what is the best method of doing this. I really don't want to compile our own install and break the simple apt-get upgrade path in the future if we have a choice. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, There is no way to do this with the packages from nginx.org, without recompiling nginx, with the --with-http_geoip_module build flag. Unless you do it on another level (e.g. with the geoip php extension) which I am assuming you don't want. You could set up your own repo. --- Kurt Cancemi http://www.getwnmp.org --- Kurt Cancemi http://www.getwnmp.org On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 9:59 PM, TheBritishGeek <nginx-forum@nginx.us>

Maybe ngx_geo_module could help you, it's comes built-in with nginx and doesn't need re-compilation. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_geo_module.html On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 11:51 AM, Kurt Cancemi <kurt@x64architecture.com>

Thanks for help on this, I decided to just go ahead and compile this ourselves as as we really need the GoIP features. Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,250978,251123#msg-251123
