note 115591 added to geoip.installation

Hi everybody, I ran into many roadbumps installing this, hopefully these tips will help somebody else. I installed it on a CentOS 5.x system running PHP 5.3.x managed by Virtualmin/Webmin. Using SSH, I installed the following packages via yum: yum install php53-devel geoip geoip-devel gcc. Basically I ran into a bunch of random errors that were resolved by installing whatever package was required, AND their equivalent -devel companion. Then I ran: pecl install geoip Once that installed, I had to edit /etc/php.ini. Search for "extension=" and add the line "extention=geoip". If you have virtual hosts setup in your hosting environment that each have their own php.ini file, you'll need to add that line to each file. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 162.157.15.124 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/geoip.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115591 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115591/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115591/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115591/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115591/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115591/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115591/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115591 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115591 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
