Bugzilla Bug 103663

Browsing through the gentoo forums, I've found that many people don't know how
to enable Geo-IP plugin in awstats. Since there's a global "geoip" use flag, why
not use it? ;)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




Dropped alpha, amd64, hppa and mips due to new dependencies. 

dev-perl/Geo-IP needs testing on alpha, amd64, hppa and mips and depends on
dev-libs/geoip, which needs testing on mips.

Created an attachment (id=66838) [details]
patch against net-www/awstats-6.5 ebuild

I can test on amd64, hppa, and mips.  CC'ing alpha@.

dev-perl/Geo-IP doesn't build on alpha... I'm trying to figure out why.

In case you were going to ask, use.mask'ing geoip in alpha is not a solution
since dev-libs/geoip works fine (I'm using it with webalizer)

Cheers,

dev-libs/geoip *should* 'append-flags -fPIC' that way everything works fine on
alpha. And follows the policy :)

Ferdy

netmon herd, could you please fix dev-libs/geoip ebuild per comment #4? Thanks.

Ok, just a ping here, this is a really important issue. Please netmon, fix
geoip.

Sorry Ferdy - added -fPIC to  geoip-1.3.13.ebuild and geoip-1.3.14.ebuild 
 
I'll need to revisit this - I'm sure its an automake problem somewhere. 
  
  

Thanks for fixing that one.

I marked dev-perl/Geo-IP ~alpha. If we have to do something else, please CC us
again.

Cheers,
Ferdy

Just a post-Xmas ping :=)

which Geo::IP ebuild should we be building for use with AWStats 6.5?  there are
a few in portage:

dev-perl/Geo-IP
dev-libs/geoip
dev-python/geoip-python
dev-ruby/net-geoip

in my case, i installed using dev-libs/geoip and ran into a famous error:


<snip>
Error: Plugin load for plugin 'geoip' failed with return code: Error: Can't

Setup ('/etc/awstats/awstats.ahrends.conf' file, web server or permissions) may
be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).

i ended up manually building GeoIP following the directions at maxmind.com.

Why don't you see/use the ebuild patch in Comment #1?

Uncomenting the line

#LoadPlugin = "geoip GEOIP_STANDARD"

is not enough. You should add /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat. I thinl that this
should be added to the default conf too.

Oops. Sorry, I see that this change have been already submitted.

So, is the bug solved?  I'd be more than happy to take this one on if not. 
Such a trivial merge should have taken place 2 years ago!

I'm not the maintainer of this and I don't use it...
Best regards, CHTEKK.

done in 6.6.  not sure why this took so long.
