This plugin enables users to display the geolocation information, such as country, region, city, ZIP code and time zone derived from the IP addresses.

Instructions

1. Install Geo::IP2Location libraries from CPAN.

2. Upload ip2location.pm to /usr/share/awstats/plugins.

3. Open /etc/awstats/awstats.conf and insert following line:

    LoadPlugin="ip2location /usr/share/IP2Location/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN"
   

   **Note: ** Make sure the path to IP2Location database file is correct.

4. Disable any Maxmind GeoIP plugin as AWStats hook can only access by one plugin per time.

5. View the information by accessing "Countries" or "Hosts" from the left menu.

Dependencies

It's recommended to use IP2Location DB11 which includes country, region, city, ZIP code and time zone information.
