AWStats GeoIP not working on CentOS 5.9

AWStats GeoIP not working on CentOS 5.9

If you’re getting the following error after activating the GeoIP module in AWStats

Error: Plugin load for plugin ‘geoipfree’ failed with return code: Error: Can’t locate Geo/IPfree.pm in @INC

you’re missing the Perl module required for this.

To install it, SSH to your system and enter Perl’s CPAN prompt via

perl -MCPAN -e shell

 

Then run the install command

install Geo:IPFree

If you get a Warning: Cannot install Geo::IPFree, don’t know what it is. message, install the module the alternative way:

install BRICAS/Geo-IPfree-1.130450.tar.gz

 

 

PS: If CPAN complains that it might be old, it would be a good idea to update it via

install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan

Updating CPAN will most likely take a while.
