 ===== Enabling GeoLocation =====
-Geolocation enables developers to enhance the user experience. Content and advertising may be customized for a specific user's country, showing pages more relevant to the location of the user. Admins can further enhance a site's security by blocking a client based on country.  Displays can be customized for the user's environment. This wiki describes the new GeoLite2 database (with the ''%%.mmdb%%'' extension), downloadable from [[https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/|here]].  To use the legacy databases (''%%.dat%%'' extension) see the description for setting up legacy databases[[https://openlitespeed.org/mediawiki/index.php/Help:GeoLocation_Setup|here]].

 ==== Step 1. Install ====
-The GeoLite2 databases are updated frequently and will regularly have to be downloaded. The description of automating this download by MaxMind is [[https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoipupdate/|here]].  It is strongly recommended that while you may want to test by downloading the databases manually that you have them updated automatically. Full support for all of the databases (both the free ones and the subscription ones) are included.  You need to download the databases to a known location on your system.  The automatic update will load them into ''%%/usr/local/share/GeoIP%%'' and the instructions will assume that you are loading the two free ones: ''%%GeoLite2-Country.mmdb%%'' and ''%%GeoLite2-City.mmdb%%'' and can be followed to setup access to the paid databases as well..

 ==== Step 4. Check Correct IP is Set ====
-You can check source IP via LiteSpeed default php page ''%%http://yourdomain/index.php?act=phpinfo%%''.  Check the ''%%$_SERVER%%'' variables, and look for the ones which begin with ''%%GEOIP_%%''. {{https://openlitespeed.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/geoenv.jpg?533x235}} The environment variables are based on the default environment definitions.  The advanced section below shows you how to customize them for your environment to allow you to specify environment names, display language, additional databases, etc.

 ==== Step 5. Check DB by Lookup Command ====
-A very useful MaxMind tool is downloaded and compiled with the source code release: ''%%mmdblookup%%''.  Use this tool to view an entry in the database for a specific IP. For example, to see the country name definition for the IP address 47.22.54.182 enter from a command prompt in the openlitespeed directory: ''%%libmaxminddb/bin/mmdblookup --file /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb --ip 47.22.54.182 -v%%'' The output is very detailed and can be informative as it shows you the information available in the database:
