3. Install GeoIP v. 111 with PHP7 support:

   # /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/pecl install http://pecl.php.net/get/geoip-1.1.1.tgz

   For PHP 7.1:

   # /opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin/pecl install http://pecl.php.net/get/geoip-1.1.1.tgz

4. Add ”

   For PHP 7.0 modify file /opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.ini
   For PHP 7.1 modify file /opt/plesk/php/7.1/etc/php.ini
5. Check the installation:

   # /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php -m | grep geoip

   For PHP 7.1:

   # /opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin/php -m | grep geoip
