.htaccess expert wanted

[Geezer]

Well when I say wanted I don't mean to hire I mean to help me sort out this Geo Redirect bollocks. I have tried adding the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^MX$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://myredirection.url [R,L]

But its doesn't work, I also read about a GEOIP Module that must be installed, is this correct?

I spoke to one of my hosts and they said it should work but does it bollocks.

If anyone knows how to set up Geo Redirect through .htaccess can you let me know how. I want to just redirect by country not IP :)

AFAIK yes, you must have the geo-ip module installed.

Yeah cheers, I've seen that, in fact I've probably seen every single bastard thing written about it today :geezer:

If anyone knows of anything else I can do to geo redirect then let me know :alc:

I have seen one script and it looks good but it just seems a bit over complicated for what I want, I bet I end up getting it :(

THIS (http://www.articlesuniverse.com/Article/Useless-Traffic---Is-there-such-a-thing---GEO-Redirecting-your-Foreign-Traffic/45258) was interesting....

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^83.20.92.41$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^.*\.cn$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^cn.*$
RewriteRule .* http://www.send-them-here.com/index.htm [R]


Something like this will kick them off


edit -
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^83.20.92.41$ - this line isn't needed unless you are re-directing surfers from your own country and need access yourself (the ip would be your ip)

Which script?

[Geezer]

Which script?

I got the script from kaktusan, he is very good. I had a custom script written by him last year as well, very good and I'm always glad to recommend him. He is the man behind such greats as Site Organizer and Blogs Organizer.

His site is here: http://www.cheapestadultscripts.com/ and is well worth making a note of ;)
