I installed the GeoIP package using yum. I got the geoIP files in the /usr/share/GeoIP/
folder. I need to add some rules on some countries in the: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
and to do that i need to load the module, like: load_module modules/ngx_http_geoip2_module.so;
, to recognize the variables. See:
geoip_country /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;
So how can i install this module? I followed this tutorial: https://github.com/leev/ngx_http_geoip2_module/blob/master/README.md#installing and the url is outdated or invalid, not sure, but i cannot download it . Also I already have nginx being installed. Any suggestions? thnx in advance!

please download the ngx_http_geoip2_module by clicking on the "Code" button.
Unzip it.
Assume it is unzipped at
/home/someuser/ngx_http_geoip2_module-master
.Pass this location to
--add-dynamic-module
of./configure
:then follow the remaining instructions.
