Activating mod_geoip

I installed libapache2-mod-geoip
Added the following to my apache directives in the OPTIONs tab under websites:

Code:

#Block Certain Countries (with mod_geoip2)
<IfModule mod_geoip.c>
    GeoIPEnable On
    GeoIPDBFile /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat

    SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE CN BlockCountry
    SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE RU BlockCountry
        SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE BR BlockCountry
    # ... place more countries here

</IfModule>

They I tried adding this after this to /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/vhost.conf.master:

Code:

<Directory />
    Deny from env=BlockCountry
</Directory>

But there are many places it could exist. When I put it in, it give a FORBIDDEN error to everyone.

Where is the right place to insert it??

 

Have you enabled it using a2enmod?

 

yes.

 

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/geoip.conf

Does this exist?

<IfModule mod_geoip.c>
GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
GeoIPDBFile /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat MemoryCache
GeoIPDBFile /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat CheckCache
GeoIPScanProxyHeaders On
</IfModule>

I'm also assuming youve restarted apache2

 

Yes

not exactly in that form , but yes.

yes, that is how I got locked out of the website.

 

I'm afraid I am not sure then. Sorry.

 

Just a thought, is anything posted to the apache error log for that website? Or is it just a case of it saying the plugin is unknown.
