    Hello, You need to install mod_geoIP on your server through easyapache, You can install it through Opt Mods.

    My understanding was that PECL geoip was an alternative to using mod_geoip. Also, I do not see any mention of this on the PECL geoip page at

    configure: error: Please reinstall the geoip distribution

    Hello :) You will need to install the geoip package through YUM before installing the PECL module. EX:
    yum install geoip yum install geoip-devel
    Thank you.

    Thanks Michael, I tested this on my local copy of CentOS 6.5 It does fix the problem and allows "PECL install geoip" to function properly However, I did have to load the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) first: yum install epel-release Have not tried on the CPANEL server, so not sure if last step is required there. Finally, will using the PECL tool in WHM add "extension=geoip.so" to php.ini or does that have to be done manually? Will the following work better rather than editing php.ini? echo "extension=geoip.so" > /etc/php.d/geoip.ini

    The extension is automatically added when installing the PECL module. Thank you.

    Just a quick update. Performed the following: yum install epel-release yum install geoip WHM-->PHP PECL-->Install geoip and it still fails.

    Please install the "geoip-devel" package and let us know if the issue persists:
    yum install geoip-devel
    Thank you.
