Supertracker

[Tapper]

So I've installed Supertracker 1.1 on ZC 1.5.1. It worked fine for about a week then I got blank front end (admin is fine). I uninstalled Supertracker and it's good.

The debug logs give this error:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare geoip_country_code_by_name() in /home/ . . . /public_html/ . . . /includes/geoip.inc on line 351

I installed and uninstalled a few times and same result. I have this mod running on 1.3.9h with no problems. It was also OK on this version for about a week.

We've had some strange php errors the last month or so. Little things that I've fixed one at a time. I believe there's some creeping php/mysql upgrade in the works that is running into bad/old/depreciated code.

This issue has happened in the past with this exact error in this file. I've found posts and solutions for this thing from every year for the last 4 years.

This one - adding !if statements in the geoip.inc file - worked for me. the code is around line 340 in geoip.inc.

Fair warning: after I made the code changes and re-uploaded the whole package my front and backend dragged for about 5 mins. Seemed frozen. I waited and refreshed and everything's fine. Supertracker even works

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare geoip_country_code_by_name()

The solution is very simple. in your geoip.inc file, look for this code

function geoip_country_code_by_name($gi, $name) {
...
}

function geoip_country_name_by_name($gi, $name) {
...
}

and replace with

if (!function_exists('geoip_country_code_by_name')) {
function geoip_country_code_by_name($gi, $name) {
...
}
}

if (!function_exists('geoip_country_name_by_name')) {
function geoip_country_name_by_name($gi, $name) {
...
}
}

Here are some other solutions I found in case that fix doesn't work for you. I HAVE NOT TRIED THESE

From 2011: this fix from razvantudorica.com/03/cannot-redeclare-geoip_country_code_by_name/. This one is from the same post as the code fix I used: it's an alternative that is supposed to do the same thing.

Cannot redeclare geoip_country_code_by_name
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare geoip_country_code_by_name()

The reason was that I have geoip extension enabled in my PHP configuration and also I used the geoip.inc file from maxmind.com.

The solution is very simple. Actually, there are two solutions:

First is to disable the geoip extension from your configuration. In /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/geoip.ini comment the first line:

;extension=geoip.so

. . . . second solution is the code fix above.

One person on max_mind says this but I don't know what he's talking about: I don't have that in my php.ini

the reason is that you use the php code _and_ the php extension. Remove the geoip extension from your php.ini to fix the namespace clash.
( both use the same function name geoip_country_code_by_name )

From a 2010 posting on 4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=28684.0

Problem solved. It`s depend on hosting changes...
For resolve this problem, uncomment this path in you geoip.inc
function geoip_country_code_by_name($gi, $name) {
$country_id = geoip_country_id_by_name($gi,$name);
if ($country_id !== false) {
return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODES[$country_id];
}
return false;
}

function geoip_country_name_by_name($gi, $name) {
$country_id = geoip_country_id_by_name($gi,$name);
if ($country_id !== false) {
return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAMES[$country_id];
}
return false;
