Q: I'm getting errors with Geo::IP::PurePerl. What is it? What does it require?
Q: The users country flags do not work, I only get the default flags, why?
A: HlstatsX:CE has the option of allowing country flags. It requires certain programs in order for this to work. Geo::IP::PurePerl is such a package and can be installed in a different of ways:
Via linux command line (cli)
To install Geo::IP::PurePerl via cli you will need to be root and type the following:
Code:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Geo::IP::PurePerl'
Via Cpanel
Via CPAN
Again go to a linux command line. Do the following as root:
Code:
cpan
install Geo::IP::PurePerl
It should now be installed.
With ppm on Windows.
If using ActivePerl, open Perl Package Manager. Search for Geo-IP-PurePerl. Mark for Install. Run marked actions.
If Geo-IP-PurePerl is not found, you may need to add a repository for it.
After installing Geo::IP::PurePerl you will need to set the method you are going to use with the flags.
Go to the /scripts/GeoLiteCity/ directory, and execute the file called "install_binary.sh". It might be nessecary to chmod the file to +x (execute) before you will be able to run it. This will download the GeoLiteCity.dat.
Now the only thing left is to go to your stats website, login as admin, choose "HLstatsX:CE Settings", browse down to "award settings" and select "GeoIP lookup via binary file" option. Restart the daemon afterwards!
