ngx_http_geoip_module module doesn't work

Hello,
I'm having problems with ngx_http_geoip_module module. My server is running Centos 6 and this is my nginx version and configure options:
"

Here are the packages that I've installed:
+ GeoIP-devel-1.6.5-1.el6.x86_64
+ GeoIP-1.6.5-1.el6.x86_64
+ GeoIP-GeoLite-data-extra-2015.04-2.el6.noarch

These are located in the directory file /usr/share/GeoIP/:
+ GeoIPASNum.dat -> GeoLiteASNum.dat

+ GeoIPCity.dat -> GeoLiteCity.dat
+ GeoIPCityv6.dat -> GeoLiteCityv6.dat

+ GeoIPv6.dat
+ GeoLiteASNum.dat
+ GeoLiteASNumv6.dat -> GeoIPASNumv6.dat
+ GeoLiteCity.dat
+ GeoLiteCityv6.dat
+ GeoLiteCountry.dat
This is my nginx config:
http {
    geoip_country /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCountry.dat;
    geoip_city    /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat;
    ......
    server {
          ....
          location / {
              ....
              content_by_lua'
                 ngx.say("<h1> Country Code: "..tostring(ngx.var.geoip_country_code).." Country name: "..tostring(ngx.var.geoip_country_name).."</h1>" )
             ';
          }
    }
}

I get results Country Code: nil and Country name: nil.
Did I get the wrong configuration at any step? please help me solve this problem !
Thanks !

How did you send your test require? You won't get anything if your
client is using private IP addresses like 127.0.0.1. The easiest way
to test this thing is to use the standard ngx_realip module.

If you still have no clues with a good public IP address, then you can
try enable the nginx debugging logs:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/debugging_log.html

If you want to share the logs here, please use web paste services like
gist.github.com to avoid flooding the list with too much text.
