How to install GeoIP php extension for PHP 7.0 and PHP 7.1 supplied by Plesk?
Answer
- Connect to the server via SSH.
- Install required libraries and packages:
For RHEL/CentOS and PHP 7.0:
# yum install make plesk-php70-devel gcc glibc-devel GeoIP-devel zlib-devel
For RHEL/CentOS and PHP 7.1:
# yum install make plesk-php71-devel gcc glibc-devel GeoIP-devel zlib-devel
For Debian/Ubuntu and PHP 7.0:
# apt-get install plesk-php70-dev build-essential
# apt-get install libgeoip-dev geoip-bin geoip-databaseFor Debian/Ubuntu and PHP 7.1:
# apt-get install plesk-php71-dev build-essential
# apt-get install libgeoip-dev geoip-bin geoip-database - Install GeoIP v. 111 with PHP7 support:
For PHP 7.0:
# /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/pecl install http://pecl.php.net/get/geoip-1.1.1.tgz
For PHP 7.1:
# /opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin/pecl install http://pecl.php.net/get/geoip-1.1.1.tgz
- Add "
extension=geoip.so"to the PHP's configuration (php.ini) file:
For PHP 7.0 modify file/opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.ini
For PHP 7.1 modify file/opt/plesk/php/7.1/etc/php.ini - Check the installation:
For PHP 7.0:
# /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php -m | grep geoip
For PHP 7.1:
# /opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin/php -m | grep geoip
Note: for PHP versions other that 7.0 and 7.2, specify corresponding version in each step. For example:
# apt-get install plesk-php72-dev build-essential
# /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php -m | grep geoip

UPDATE:
It appears that PHP 8.x is not yet supported (https://pecl.php.net/package/geoip/1.1.1/windows)
The only current option is to use the GeoIP2 library (https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-php)
ORIGINAL REPLY:
This does not work as-is. Yes, I'm trying to add it to PHP 8.0-8.3 and not 7.x like the instructions states, but the geoIP extension should be compatible.
The command:
/opt/plesk/php/8.3/bin/pecl install http://pecl.php.net/get/geoip-1.1.1.tgz
Errors out with:
/tmp/geoip/geoip.c: In function 'zif_geoip_db_avail':
/tmp/geoip/geoip.c:264:51: error: expected ')' before 'TSRMLS_CC'
and about 100 more errors after that.
The error happens with both Plesk GUI > Tools & Settings > PHP Settings > FPM > Manage PECL Extension and via SSH with the command above.
I suspect that ./configure command is not able to find the proper plesk-php8x-dev file (/opt/plesk/php/8.x/bin/php-config), or that that file is using the default PHP config and not the dev package version. Haven't figured out a proper solution yet. I'll update this if I do. If you know of a solution, please share!
