geoip not working with nginx - unknown directive "geoip_country"

[lakano]

Hi !

We have:

• downloaded the MaxMind DB files and put them into /app/geoip/,
• used the geoip_custom_directory,
• added the php extension geoip
• requested to install the GeoIP package (listed in available nanobox packages)

But this doesn't works.

If we look in your /data/etc/nginx/nginx.conf file, there is no directive geoip_country ( cf. documentation )

If we copy your default nginx.conf, add the 2 geoip directives lines, and force our modified nginx.conf to be used, we get an error « unknown directive "geoip_country" »

run.config:
  extra_packages:
    - GeoIP
  engine: php
  engine.config:
    webserver: nginx
    document_root: /public/
    nginx_index_list:
      - index.php
      - index.html
    nginx_default_gateway: index.php
    geoip_custom_directory: 'app/geoip/'
    runtime: php-7.2
    extensions:
      - session

      - readline
      - sqlite3
      - xml
      - zip
      - geoip
      - redis
  extra_steps:
    - cp nginx.conf /data/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
  build_triggers:
    - nginx.conf

Do you have any idea to help us to use GeoIP with a custom NginX configuration file please?
