awstats-plugin-geoip-allregions OVERVIEW This package contains a plugin for awstats. On Debian it is installed with the other plugins in /usr/share/awstats/plugins. This plugin will generate a Region table and place region information in the Host table within an AWStats report. It is similar to the geoip_region_maxmind plugin, which generates U.S. and Canada Region information from MaxMind's region database. However, this plugin generates worldwide region information from MaxMind's city database. They offer a free version, GeoLiteCity.dat, for download from: http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/ Decompress it and install it in this directory on Debian: /usr/share/GeoIP/ That database is the "free" version and they update it monthly. They also offer a more accurate licensed version. For more information, see: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity USAGE In your awstats configuration file (under /etc/awstats), you can add a section like this: # Plugin: GeoIP_AllRegions # Perl modules required: Geo::IP (from Maxmind) # This plugin adds a chart of hits by region (with country information). # Note: This plugin needs the Maxmind GeoIP Perl module AND the city database. # Note: I get some problem with Maxmind Geo::IP Perl module with ActiveState # on Windows but it works great on Linux with default Perl. # There are two versions of the Maxmind City Database: # You can get a free version or purchase a license from Maxmind to get/use a more # accurate version including updates (http://www.maxmind.com/app/perl?rId=awstat) # This plugin reduces AWStats speed. # LoadPlugin="geoip_allregions GEOIP_STANDARD /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat" -- Ken Neighbors , Tue May 16 08:46:24 2006
