GeoIP module does not work on 1.10.2

[hristo.iliev@…]

http_geoip_module stopped working in version 1.10.2 . With same configure options and same config file it is works with version 1.10.1 . In latest version at least GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE is not set (I use only geoip_country directive).

The geoip module is not expected to set GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE. If you see a problem, please provide more details - what exactly is in your configuration, what you expect to happen, and what happens instead. We need a way to reproduce the problem.

I have two installations of nginx - 1.10.1 and 1.10.2 on same server with same configuration options and same config file. In config file, related to geoip, I have only:

geoip_country           /usr/local/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;

In version 1.10.1 I can do with PHP

var_dump($_SERVER['GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE'])

and it return country code correctly, in version 1.10.2 it's not defined. PHP code is same, geoip library is same, geoip database is same. So I think something is changed in nginx. How can I debug more ?

The GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE is not something that is expected to appear automatically on PHP side once you enable geoip_country directive in the nginx configuration. If it is available in PHP, there should be something else in the configuration which makes it available.

Grep your previous installation configs for GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE to find out how it was made available to php in your previous configuration - most likely, there is something like

fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_country_code;

somewhere in your config, probably in the fastcgi_params file.

Ouch that's right. I forgot fastcgi_params. I'm really sorry. Thank you and you can close this.
