module geoip2 with map directive - nginx-dev-email-history

R

21 Jan '23

Hi list, I'm trying to block some countries to prevent access to three
applications from my app server, the problem is that the list is large
and I want to separate them into a separate file.

I'm using the geoip2 module and when I add the maps directive and make
an include to specify the file it doesn't work.

part of my nginx.conf

map $geoip2_data_country_code $allowed_country {
   default yes;
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/geo_country.conf;
    }

conf.d/geo_country.conf

NI no; #Nicaragua

nginx -t

nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "NI" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/geo_country.conf:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Any ideas, how to do this?

I'm pretty sure that this "include" line works, but...

...I suspect that you have another line somewhere else like "include
/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;", and this file is also included at that point
in the config, and its content is not valid there.

Rename this file (and change the include line) to something like
geo_country.map, so that the name does not match the other include
directive pattern in your config.
