Name : GeoIP.tar.gz
Extract the library:
#tar zxvf GeoIP.tar.gz
#cd GeoIP-1.4.6/
#./configure
# make
# make install
Step 2:

# tar zxvf mod_geoip2_1.2.5.tar.gz
# cd mod_geoip2_1.2.5
Install the API
#apxs -i -a -L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include -lGeoIP -c mod_geoip.c
# chmod 755 /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_geoip.so
[activating module `geoip' in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf]
Step : 3
Download the latest GeoLite country database in binary format
# wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
# gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
# mkdir /usr/src/geo
# mv GeoIP.dat /usr/src/geo/
Step : 4
# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Go all the way down to the end of file and add the following lines:
GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /usr/src/geo/GeoIP.dat
Save it and exit
#service httpd restart
Now, its your mod_rewrite skills which can save you :)
