IP Address not working.

Setting to active because there is no patch. See http://drupal.org/node/156119 for an explanation of issue statuses.

EDIT: Misread your inital post, I don't have this issue with the server ip being saved instead of user ip.

Initial reply:

Hi,

Wanted to note that in most recent dev version only update of ipadress happens when the user logs out. I don't know why it isn't saved when the user logs in...?

Quick fix: Replace:
in user_stats.module
Replace the following function by the code below:

/**
 * Implements hook_user_login().
 */
function user_stats_user_login(&$edit, $account) {
  if (TRUE && variable_get('user_stats_count_logins', TRUE)) {
    user_stats_login_count_update('increment', $account->uid);
  }
  user_stats_ip_address_update($account->uid, ip_address());
}

Geert

I had a similar problem and found a temporary (i.e., imperfect) solution. I've only been using php for two days now, so take this post with a grain of salt.

Drupal appears to get the IP address by calling the ip_address() function in /includes/bootstrap.inc, which uses the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] variable to retrieve the clients IP address.

However, all HTTP requests are forwarded to the webserver I'm using by some proxy, so the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] gives the IP address of my servers proxy rather than the client. To get the client's IP I had to instead use the $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED"FOR'] variable. Basically, I replaced the entire ip_address() function with the code below. Please note, however, that this is a far from perfect solution (e.g., see http://roshanbh.com.np/2007/12/getting-real-ip-address-in-php.html). This biggest problem is that, apparently, for people behind a DHCP router, I'll be tracking their local address (e.g., 192.168.X.X for anyone behind a linksys router). Seems to work for clients visiting from university networks, though, which is what I'm most interested in.

If anyone has a better solution that would be great.

ip_address() {
  $ip_address = &drupal_static(__FUNCTION__);

  if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
    $ip_address = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
  } else {
    $ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
  }

  return $ip_address;
}

To naseemAl - You might also try uncommenting and configuring the following lines in your settings.php file:

Line 392:
# $conf['reverse_proxy'] = TRUE;
Line 398:
# $conf['reverse_proxy_addresses'] = array('a.b.c.d', ...);
