Installing GeoIP and GeoLiteCity with MyPHPAdmin
Installing GeoIP and GeoLiteCity with MyPHPAdmin
Hello,
I am using Joomla 1.7
I recently installed MetaMod v3.6...it seems so powerful, and I can't wait to use it.
However, regarding the text in the module settings for GeoIP, it is unclear how to install it.
I am unclear about the following
"If you want to use the GeoIP Country features, please...[removed]...copy it to jooma_root/geoip/GeoIP.dat in your server file system."
You said "jooma_root". Do you mean "joomla_root"? The L is missing.
Also, do i have to create a folder within the root named "geoip"? How do I do that?
Also, which is the root? In MyPHPAdmin, I have 3 areas,
teamplay
_jm1
_jm2
Re: Installing GeoIP and GeoLiteCity with MyPHPAdmin
Hi Russ,
the "joomla root" (sorry about the typo; will fix this) means the folder in the file system (not the database) that Joomla is installed into. On a typical web server this might be something like /users/yourusername/public_html. In that folder you'll find subfolders such as administrator, cache, components, images, includes, modules, plugins, media, templates and a few others. It's where Joomla lives.
So, alongside those other folders create one called simple "geoip" (no quotes).
To create that folder, you would generally use a file manager inside your hosting control panel (e.g. cPanel), or via FTP, or with something like eXtplorer in Joomla.
Then download the latest GeoIP database from the link given, uncompress it, then upload it into that folder using the same tool that you used to create the folder in the first place.
Hope that helps,
Stephen
