From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi,

I've recently installed FreeNginx[^FN]

I would like to use the geoip_module to have some "Stats" about my visitors..\

... using the precompiled MaxMind databases ...

But on the MaxMind website I'm facing a wall:

Sorry, we were not able to create your account. Please ensure that you are using an email that is not disposable, and that you are not connecting via a proxy or VPN.

So not working... And anyway I'm not a fan of using something compiled and more over not open source...

So do you know another solution to get GeoIP data with FreeNginx ?

Thanks.

The free version of Maxmind's db should be available on your distro. The name is going to be 'geoip' with something extra hanging on :)
