GeoLite Country

I am trying to integrate Geolite Country from MaxMind into our modx installation.

I have a small php routine in a snippet. I am getting this error when the snippet runs:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
Error: require_once() [function.require-once]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration
Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
File: /home/public_html/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(770) : eval()’d code
Line: 1

I guess this is a problem with our configuration, but not being a modx guru I cannot work out what needs changing and where.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Thank you for reading this question.

Snippet is:

<?php

require_once("http://www.domain.com/geoip.inc");

$gi = geoip_open("http://www.domain.com/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);

$country_code = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $_SERVER[’REMOTE_ADDR’]);
$country_name = geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, $_SERVER[’REMOTE_ADDR’]);

geoip_close($gi);

switch ($country_code){
case "":
?>UNKONWN !!!
<?php;
break;
default:
echo $country_name;
break;
}

?>

Hi

Any luck that you get this work? I'd like to use GeoIP on my site too but not so sure how to start. Please advise.

That error is saying that you can't "include" or "require" a file via a URL, like http://domain.com/file.php

You need to use a file path, not a URL. Paths will be relative to your index.php file, so if you have the geoip.inc file in the web root, it would just be


I don't know if the goip_open function would have the same problem, but if it did then the solution would be the same - file path, not URL.
