OK, I first read the mail too quickly and didn't understand that I had
to do something now.

It will be much easier for me to understand what to do if I can see
the final configuration, which is probably the Apache configuration
directives.


For the Maxmind database, I current use the following set of
instructions (which I use when installing AWstats with the geoip
module):

  aptitude install libgeo-ipfree-perl libgeoip1
  
  mkdir -p -m 755 /usr/local/share/GeoIP/
  cat <<'EOF' > /etc/cron.d/maxmind
  # Update Country/City IP-lookup databases from MaxMind
  # TODO: use -o /dev/null, then use $? to check if the download was successful
  0 3 10 * *      root    wget 
http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIP.dat.gz -O- | zcat > 
/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
  10 3 10 * *     root    wget 
http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz -O- | zcat > 
/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat
  EOF
  
  # TODO: do this non-interactively
  aptitude install build-essential
  perl -MCPAN -e shell
  # > install Geo::IP


Karl, can you tell me what's your progress with the mirmon
configuration?
