Worldwide static files

Never heard of MirrorBrain but anything that requires mysql/postgresql database usage will probably complicate things for mirroring/multiple server clusters usually. I'd rather use 3rd party GeoDNS and/or self-hosted load balancer (nginx or haproxy) and pure static files served directly. Means less system resource usage.

If you use nginx as a load balancer you can use geoip nginx module to direct visitors to geographic backends etc Module ngx_http_geoip_module. I use geoip module and custom nginx mapping to serve ad banners based on visitor location on centminmod.com

centmin mod already has geoip module and configuration requirements setup in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf via include file

Code (Text):

include /usr/local/nginx/conf/geoip.conf;

Code (Text):

cat /usr/local/nginx/conf/geoip.conf
# SET the path to the .dat file used for determining the visitor's country from the IP-address ###
geoip_country /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;

# SET the path to the .dat file used for determining the visitor's country from the IP-address ###
geoip_city /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat;

Various ways to use nginx geoip module to give you ideas

• Restricting Access by Geographical Location - NGINX
• nginx: How To Block Visitors By Country With The GeoIP Module (Debian/Ubuntu)
• Loading site please wait...

 

This one was one I tried to find closer example nginx: Install GeoIP Module For Country / City Level Geo Targeting

 

FYI, centmin mod 123.09beta01 already has PHP-FPM setup for PHP GeoIP too in /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf include file for each vhost

Code (Text):

# Set php-fpm geoip variables
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_country_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE3 $geoip_country_code3;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME $geoip_country_name;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_city_country_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_CODE3 $geoip_city_country_code3;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY_COUNTRY_NAME $geoip_city_country_name;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_REGION $geoip_region;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY $geoip_city;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE $geoip_postal_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_CITY_CONTINENT_CODE $geoip_city_continent_code;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_LATITUDE $geoip_latitude;
fastcgi_param GEOIP_LONGITUDE $geoip_longitude;

 

and output of nginx -t ?

 

with failed attempt in place use nginx -t to report the error nginx sees

 

yeah wrong file you put it in nginx.conf while it should be your site's nginx vhost config file

 

Code (Text):

location /geo_country {
return 200 "Visiting from :$geoip_country_name";
}

believe this isn't correct so try other methods like setting up an nginx mapped variable to $geoip_country_code

contents of /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/abc.com.conf ?

the rest is up to you though
