How to enable geoip on a Mac

[godsmustbcrazy]

Once I have installed it on a Mac using
brew install goaccess

is it possible to enable geoIP ?

[allinurl]

From the formula, it looks like you can pass with-geoip

[godsmustbcrazy]

Yes ,
brew uninstall goaccess

then

brew install goaccess --with-geoip

Thanks again

[godsmustbcrazy]

Make sure you run

xcode-select install

if you get an error while doing this that says "homebrew cannot run c compiled programs" when you run brew install goacess --with-geoip

sudo goaccess -f access_log  > report5.html

Error Opening file /usr/local/var/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat

Resolved :

i just download this file GeoLiteCity.dat.gz and then extract to the specific path and i just setup the config like in below

######################################
# GeoIP Options
# Only if configured with --enable-geoip
######################################

# Standard GeoIP database for less memory usage.
#
#std-geoip false

# Specify path to GeoIP database file. i.e., GeoLiteCity.dat
# .dat file needs to be downloaded from maxmind.com.
#
# For IPv4 City database:
# wget -N http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
# gunzip GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
#
# For IPv6 City database:
# wget -N http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCityv6-beta/GeoLiteCityv6.dat.gz
# gunzip GeoLiteCityv6.dat.gz
#
# For IPv6 Country database:
# wget -N http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.dat.gz
# gunzip GeoIPv6.dat.gz
#
# Note: `geoip-city-data` is an alias of `geoip-database`

I am having this issue with GeoIP

According to the last error ettercap was not able to open the geoip file so I ran these commands
brew install geoip
Updating Homebrew...

But still I get the same error and when I click on the GeoIP.dat file in finder according to this path
/usr/local/var/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat & this path
/path/to/GeoIP.dat

Finder shows me this error see the attached screenshot

@sayan-sibyl are you using goaccess and specifying the path of the .dat file in your config file? e.g., geoip-database /usr/local/var/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat

[crapthings]

goaccess nginx.access.log -o report.html --log-format=COMBINED --enable-geoip=mmdb
goaccess nginx.access.log -o report.html --log-format=COMBINED --enable-geoip=legacy

doesnt work, what's wrong?

[allinurl]

Please configure with GeoIP support:

./configure --enable-utf8 --enable-geoip=legacy

and then

goaccess nginx.access.log -o report.html --log-format=COMBINED

[dkolitha]

When I try brew install goaccess --with-geoip

I get below warning

Warning: goaccess: this formula has no --with-geoip option so it will be ignored!

[allinurl]

@dkolitha according to the formula, brew install goaccess should default to mmdb. Otherwise, feel free to open an issue in homebrew-core.

[electricpocket]

Had to install the free GeoLite2-City mmdb on my Mac to get this to work

brew install goaccess

(N.B. now uses mmdb format of GeoLite)

then visit

https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/, signup and download the mmdb version
uncompress the gzipped tar file.
and then tell goaccess where to find it with the --geoip-database option

goaccess ............--geoip-database ~/Downloads/GeoLite2-City_20200901/GeoLite2-City.mmdb

or even better put it in e.g. /usr/local/share set it up permanently using geoaccess.conf

e.g. /usr/local/shareGeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
