GeoIP module not avaliable in default rpm

[Keerthiraja S.J]

Hi

I have installed the openresty below version on Rockylinux 8.5 using dnf install method.

openresty-openssl-1.1.0l-2.el8.x86_64
openresty-1.21.4.1-1.el8.x86_64
openresty-zlib-1.2.13-1.el8.x86_64
openresty-pcre-8.45-1.el8.x86_64
openresty-openssl111-1.1.1s-1.el8.x86_64

Unfortunately by default the GeoIP module is missing while I checked using sbin/nginx -V

After that I plan to Compile the openresty with

./configure --add-dynamic-module=ngx_http_geoip2_module-3.4

nginx version: openresty/1.21.4.1
built by gcc 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-18) (GCC) 
built with OpenSSL 1.1.1k  FIPS 25 Mar 2021

configure arguments: --prefix=/usr/local/openresty/nginx --with-cc-opt=-O2 --add-module=../ngx_devel_kit-0.3.1 --add-module=../echo-nginx-module-0.62 --add-module=../xss-nginx-module-0.06 --add-module=../ngx_coolkit-0.2 --add-module=../set-misc-nginx-module-0.33 --add-module=../form-input-nginx-module-0.12 --add-module=../encrypted-session-nginx-module-0.09 --add-module=../srcache-nginx-module-0.32 --add-module=../ngx_lua-0.10.21 --add-module=../ngx_lua_upstream-0.07 --add-module=../headers-more-nginx-module-0.33 --add-module=../array-var-nginx-module-0.05 --add-module=../memc-nginx-module-0.19 --add-module=../redis2-nginx-module-0.15 --add-module=../redis-nginx-module-0.3.9 --add-module=../rds-json-nginx-module-0.15 --add-module=../rds-csv-nginx-module-0.09 --add-module=../ngx_stream_lua-0.0.11 --with-ld-opt=-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/openresty/luajit/lib --add-dynamic-module=/root/openresty-1.21.4.1/ngx_http_geoip2_module-3.4 --with-stream --with-stream_ssl_module --with-stream_ssl_preread_module --with-http_ssl_module

--add-dynamic-module=/root/openresty-1.21.4.1/ngx_http_geoip2_module-3.4 --with-stream

Which works and able to compile successfully, But if I want to compile with same configuration of above rpm base ./configuration I could not able to achieve it

The options I try to compile with same as rpm based options

./configure --add-dynamic-module=ngx_http_geoip2_module-3.4 --with-cc-opt='-O2 -DNGX_LUA_ABORT_AT_PANIC -I/usr/local/openresty/zlib/include -I/usr/local/openresty/pcre/include -I/usr/local/openresty/openssl111/include' --add-module=../ngx_devel_kit-0.3.1 --add-module=../echo-nginx-module-0.62 --add-module=../xss-nginx-module-0.06 --add-module=../ngx_coolkit-0.2 --add-module=../set-misc-nginx-module-0.33 --add-module=../form-input-nginx-module-0.12 --add-module=../encrypted-session-nginx-module-0.09 --add-module=../srcache-nginx-module-0.32 --add-module=../ngx_lua-0.10.21 --add-module=../ngx_lua_upstream-0.07 --add-module=../headers-more-nginx-module-0.33 --add-module=../array-var-nginx-module-0.05 --add-module=../memc-nginx-module-0.19 --add-module=../redis2-nginx-module-0.15 --add-module=../redis-nginx-module-0.3.9 --add-module=../ngx_stream_lua-0.0.11 --with-ld-opt='-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/openresty/luajit/lib -L/usr/local/openresty/zlib/lib -L/usr/local/openresty/pcre/lib -L/usr/local/openresty/openssl111/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/openresty/zlib/lib:/usr/local/openresty/pcre/lib:/usr/local/openresty/openssl111/lib' --with-cc='ccache gcc -fdiagnostics-color=always' --with-pcre-jit --with-stream --with-stream_ssl_module --with-stream_ssl_preread_module --with-http_v2_module --without-mail_pop3_module --without-mail_imap_module --without-mail_smtp_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_auth_request_module --with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_random_index_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_mp4_module --with-http_gunzip_module --with-threads --with-compat --with-stream --with-http_ssl_module

When I compile with these Options I get strange ERROR

ERROR

./configure: error: no /root/openresty-1.21.4.1/../ngx_devel_kit-0.3.1/config was found
ERROR: failed to run command: sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openresty/nginx \...

Even I tried by
./configure --add-dynamic-module=ngx_http_geoip2_module-3.4 --add-module=../ngx_devel_kit-0.3.1

I get the same error

It will be great the precompile rpm next release include the GeoIP will really help ops team do to configure much quicker

[Keerthiraja S.J]

Is there any simple way to achieve to enable GeoIP country wise block by installation the current rpm .

If you want to add an extra option, you can follow the command in
https://github.com/openresty/openresty-packaging/blob/master/rpm/SPECS/openresty.spec#L194.

The config from ./nginx -V is used by nginx configure, while openresty configure is another configure script.
This is why you see the error "./configure: error: no /root/openresty-1.21.4.1/../ngx_devel_kit-0.3.1/config was found."
