Installing mod_geoip for Lighttpd On Debian Etch

This guide explains how to set up mod_geoip
with lighttpd on a Debian Etch system. mod_geoip looks up the IP
address of the client end user. 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.
