Linux, and no... I asked my hoster to do this steps

http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/install/country

he did and it still not working.

Referring to the site you are linking to:

Then you will need to install the .dat file into a data directory. For example, on Linux/Unix, you could run:
$ mv GeoIP.dat /usr/local/share/GeoIP/Try putting the GeoIP.dat file in your addons/sourcemod/configs/geoip/ folder.

This will however only affect bans made from within the game; Bans added directly through the SourceBans site will be using the includes/IpToCountry.csv file in the folder of your SourceBans installation. An updated version of that csv file can be downloaded from http://software77.net/geo-ip/.

p´lease?

[stoneyschillhouse]

wich linux u exectly ?

U need to install cpan and perl

Do you run HLSX? or you have to read the install HTD ?

I think thats was help you. U must install:

Perl Module


DBD::mysql
Geo::IP::pureperl




perl -MCPAN -e 'install Geo::IP::PurePerl' via Cpan

cpan install Geo::IP::PurePerl



thats the orignial code to install geo::ip:: @hl stats

[maxolahird]

I can't get this done... can you access my ftp and do this?

[DarkDeviL]

U need to install cpan and perl

If SourceMod and SourceBans was programmed in Perl, he might need them.. However, Last time I was looking, it didn't look like it was Perl.

HLstats? He was looking for help with SourceBans, not with HLstats...

I do also believe that if he was looking for assistance wiht Hlstats, he would have walked into the other forum to ask.

As far as I know, accessing your stuff and *trying* to fix things for you that way, is not a service that this forum is providing.

The console command "sm exts list" will list the current loaded extensions, it should also list the "Geo IP" extension assuming that it is loaded on your gameserver. However if you only have FTP access to your server and not access to the server console - you're out of luck with that.

Looking at the bans here: http://banidos.impactcss.com/index.php?p=banlist&advSearch=0&advType=where_banned (selecting "Web Ban" from the server list only), there are no country either. This one looks very much like the company hosting your website is blocking functions, such as fopen/fgets for security reasons.

which console? if it's the website one... that's not a problem he can do anything on it that I want... Just tell me what... if it's blocking the only way would be getting my own VPS? Would it be slow in a 2gb RAM vps?

[DarkDeviL]

which console?
The console of the game server, of course.

It highly depends on what you are talking about here.. Both a game server and a website will run just fine on a VPS, as long as the resources necessary to do it have been allocated properly. Some people might however have different opinions and preferences regarding which virtualization to be used when hosting game servers.

The first thing was referring to the game server, and the console of it. The last thing about security restrictions was referring to the company hosting your website, just as I said before.

your GeoIP from SM runs (I think that GeoIP is Only for The ingame "player XXX with steam ID connectet from.....)
You have Not loaded extensions <FAILED> ....
To get more Information about this Type in your Servers console
sm exts info 14

to find out y this extensions FAILED to load.

Do this with all FAILED loaded extensions and post Themeb result here but as code

awnser as Advanced and use the # Button on Top to show it as code

no idea why... but I don't think they are related to the problem

[Peace-Maker]

The gameserver has nothing to do with the country lookup in sourcebans. The country of the ip is checked when the banlist is displayed using the IpToCountry.csv.

If a ip fails to be sorted to a country you can't do much about it. You can only make sure the IpToCountry.csv is up to date. http://software77.net/geo-ip/

it's up to date... why it only show some country flags like US and some other 4?

[ygor.almeida]

And ???

It means it cannot be fixed by the dev ?? I've double checked all the files all the sources and everything is ok at my side ? it is really a damn bug !?

How do i fix and have the Flag on my SourceBans webpage.
I've see a lot of other guys with this working with the same kind of setup as mine, and they all work - either i'm dumb or its something missing here.

What should i do, leave the bug there ?? I wish some expert can post a fix for this ...

glad to know i'm not the only one T_T

[ygor.almeida]

I´ve did a new install - clean one ... with most updated OS - php5, mysql, apache, IpToCountry file and everything else.

But it´s not working ... even if did not import anything ... the FLAG isn't showing.

What should i do ?

I´ve see a lot of other setups, that its working and looks like the same as mine ...

What is missed ?? How do i fix this !?

[Peace-Maker]

You don't have the same players connecting it seems. The IPs of your players seem not to be in the IpToCountry.csv.

Also the flag is only shown, if the ban actually has the ip of the player set of course ;)

[DJ Tsunami]

I double checked with the latest IpToCountry.csv, and the last 2 player IPs are in there. Maybe you can edit config.php and remove the // from
//define('SB_MEM', '128M');
It usually gives an error when there's not enough memory, but I also don't know what else it could be.

I updated the csv file in sourcebans already.... is there anything else i have to update? hlstatsx flags works fine

[maxolahird]

hello still need help

[ygor.almeida]

hello still need help

LOL ... we need help for a long time ... but no one cares.
Sourcebans is abandonaware ... i`ve tryed every fucking clue and nothing. it does not work.
its a bug and ... they give us shit about this.

[Rytis]

It's not a bug, because it works for me :P

[DJ Tsunami]

Apparently it was a problem with long IPs which PHP doesn't handle well, here's the fix: system-functions.php (https://sourcebans.googlecode.com/svn-history/r152/trunk/web_upload/includes/system-functions.php)

Save it to /includes/system-functions.php. I also optimized it so it doesn't loop through the entire 9 megabyte file... twice...

Hmm, I don't get that error when I visit your ban list. Anyway, I'll see if I can reproduce it soon.

I'm not using it currently, I had to remove otherwise it won't work

[DJ Tsunami]

I could not reproduce your error on my own installation, so you can go to Webpanel Settings and click Clear Cache to see if that fixes it.

The fix does work for me, but only for newly added bans. To fix old bans you will have to run this query from phpMyAdmin (make a backup of sb_bans first just to be safe):

UPDATE sb_bans SET country = NULL WHERE country = "zz"

[maxolahird]

I have to clear cache after using your fix?

[DJ Tsunami]

The order doesn't matter.
