GeoIP Location
GeoIP Location
HLStats is since version 1.60 able to lookup the country by IP.
NOTE: This feature does only work with MODE = Normal
Instructions to enable this feature are:
1. Download and unpack the latest GeoIP database
GNU/Linux
wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
| Windows | |
1 2 3 |
Download from http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz and unzip with WinZIP or WinRAR |
2. Move the GeoIP.dat file your hlstats installation
/path/to/hlstats/daemon/geoip/GeoIP.dat
3. Enable the USEGEOIP option via the Admin -> HLStats options interface
4. Restart hlstats.pl daemon
The used GeoIP database file is updated every month. If you want to keep it up to date ( which is not really needed every month. Every couple of month should be enough ) create a cronjob which downloads the database file and moves it to the right location.
