Hi there..

Yeah, it looks correct. One of the examples as below

GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /path/to/GeoIP.dat

Hello,

Please refer this URL "http://www.wowtutorial.org/linux-servers/how-install-geoip-module-apache-2-378.html " to check the correct code in .htacces and httpd.conf file.

Hello Chris,

I have never tried it on our server but while searching for relevant issue I come across one solution : "GeoIPDBFile command wil not work in .htaccess."

You will need to include "GeoIP.dat" file in your httpd configuration file i.e httpd.conf.

Make sure that your [B]httpd.conf[/B] file look something like this.

GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /<path for your>/GeoIP.dat

SetEnvIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE GB AllowCountry
-----------
Add following code in your [B] .htaccess[/B] file under your domain.

Deny from all
Allow from env=AllowCountry

Hope it will work for you

Many thanks Nick, Christiano and Ronnie - the info is appreciated. Currently, in my .htaccess file, is :

GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /opt/geoip/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^(CA|UK|US|MX)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.northamerica.com$1 [L]

Should that work please?

Thanks.

Chris
