This allows you to redirect or block users based on their country. You can also use this technology for your OpenX (formerly known as OpenAds or phpAdsNew) ad server to allow geo targeting. I will show two ways to build mod_geoip - the first way is to build a new lighttpd .deb package (including mod_geoip) which is the way I recommend. This works only if you have installed the standard Debian Etch lighttpd package. If you've compiled lighttpd yourself, then the second way is for you: it shows how to build mod_geoip.so for your lighttpd version.</p> <a href="http://www.howtoforge.org/installing-mod_geoip-for-lighttpd-on-debian-etch" title="Read the rest of this posting." class="read-more">Read more...</a> Debian Thu, 15 May 2008 17:52:44 +0200 http://www.howtoforge.org/installing-mod_geoip-for-lighttpd-on-debian-etch http://www.howtoforge.org/installing-mod_geoip-for-lighttpd-on-debian-etch#comment http://www.howtoforge.org/how-to-change-your-login-screen-in-fedora8-gnome <P><B>How To Change Your Login Screen In Fedora 8</b></p> <P>This is a simple howto on changing your log on screen.
