Nginx GeoIP module for country and city geo targeting can be installed in a few easy steps. It brings you a geo targeting layer allowing you to show some parts of your websites, or even split traffic according to the geographical location of the end users.

Requirements for CentOS/Fedora/RHEL

yum install zlib-devel -y

Install MaxMind C API

cd /tmp
wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/c/GeoIP.tar.gz
tar -zxvf GeoIP.tar.gz
cd GeoIP-1.4.8
./configure
make
make install

Index the library into the system with ldconfig

echo '/usr/local/lib' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/geoip.conf
ldconfig

Check that the library is loaded ok:

ldconfig -v | grep GeoIP

if you see something like this:

libGeoIPUpdate.so.0 -> libGeoIPUpdate.so.0.0.0
libGeoIP.so.1 -> libGeoIP.so.1.4.8

That means the library was installed sucessfully.

Compile Nginx GeoIP module

Download Nginx latest stable version and add –with-http_geoip_module to your ./configure options, example:

./configure --with-http_geoip_module

Output:

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.4.3.tar.gz
tar -xvpzf nginx-1.4.3.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.4.3/
./configure --with-http_geoip_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_mp4_module --with-http_gunzip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_random_index_module --with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-file-aio --with-ipv6

Install MaxMind GeoCity and GeoCountry Databases

mkdir -p /usr/local/share/GeoIP/

wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz -O /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
gzip -d /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz

Get the free database of geo_country:

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

Add this to nginx.conf file:

# SET the path to the .dat file used for determining the visitor's country from the IP-address ###
geoip_country /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;

# SET the path to the .dat file used for determining the visitor's country from the IP-address ###
geoip_city /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat;

Configuring GeoIP variables

If you are using nginx with php-fpm, place this variables inside http block:

# Set php-fpm geoip variables
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_country_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE3 $geoip_country_code3;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME $geoip_country_name;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_city_country_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE3 $geoip_city_country_code3;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_NAME $geoip_city_country_name;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_REGION $geoip_region;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY $geoip_city;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE $geoip_postal_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY_CONTINENT_CODE $geoip_city_continent_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_LATITUDE $geoip_latitude;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_LONGITUDE $geoip_longitude;

If you use nginx as proxy for apache, use this block:

# Set proxy geoip variables
proxy_set_header GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_country_code;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE3 $geoip_country_code3;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME $geoip_country_name;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_city_country_code;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE3 $geoip_city_country_code3;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_NAME $geoip_city_country_name;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_REGION $geoip_region;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_CITY $geoip_city;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE $geoip_postal_code;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_CITY_CONTINENT_CODE $geoip_city_continent_code;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_LATITUDE $geoip_latitude;
proxy_set_header GEOIP_LONGITUDE $geoip_longitude;

Testing GeoIP module

Let’s create a simple PHP test to find out the output of the variables:

<html>
<body>
<?php

$geoip_country_code = getenv(GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE);
/*
$geoip_country_code = $_SERVER['GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE']; // works as well
*/
$geoip_country_code3 = getenv(GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE3);
$geoip_country_name = getenv(GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME);

$geoip_city_country_code = getenv(GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE);
$geoip_city_country_code3 = getenv(GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE3);
$geoip_city_country_name = getenv(GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_NAME);
$geoip_region = getenv(GEOIP_REGION);
$geoip_city = getenv(GEOIP_CITY);
$geoip_postal_code = getenv(GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE);
$geoip_city_continent_code = getenv(GEOIP_CITY_CONTINENT_CODE);
$geoip_latitude = getenv(GEOIP_LATITUDE);
$geoip_longitude = getenv(GEOIP_LONGITUDE);

echo 'country_code: '.$geoip_country_code.'<br>';
echo 'country_code3: '.$geoip_country_code3.'<br>';
echo 'country_name: '.$geoip_country_name.'<br>';

echo 'city_country_code: '.$geoip_city_country_code.'<br>';
echo 'city_country_code3: '.$geoip_city_country_code3.'<br>';
echo 'city_country_name: '.$geoip_city_country_name.'<br>';
echo 'region: '.$geoip_region.'<br>';
echo 'city: '.$geoip_city.'<br>';
echo 'postal_code: '.$geoip_postal_code.'<br>';
echo 'city_continent_code: '.$geoip_city_continent_code.'<br>';
echo 'latitude: '.$geoip_latitude.'<br>';
echo 'longitude: '.$geoip_longitude.'<br>';

?>
</body>
