Workaround to use MaxMind GeoIP2-Lite-City (free version) with PHP

[ITGabs]

Hi

I am having a lot of problems to make this work on a cpanel server
so I am actually creating different questions.

MaxMind have many APIs to work with but almost everything need Composer and since it's free there is a big lack of support, install instructions and almost 0 about installing in cPanel

I tried to install the libraries without composer but I am stuck with autoconf too

after reading a lot and looking some nice tools like geocoder https://github.com/geocoder-php/Geocoder and more complications, I decided just to keep thing simple and just get GeoLite2-City.mmdb file with all the country/city information free and just use the C API to search and read that db file and just port/call part of the code from php but I need to find a workaround to install that C library on Cpanel

Why three different threads?

Hi Infopro, because is more easy to handle three different things as "Cpanel and PHP Composer", "Cpanel autoconfig outdated" and "GeoIP2-Lite-City" one big post with many question is more complex to follow, and probably in that way should be easy for Googling in the future
