MaxMind GeoLite

Post by gdardick »

I have gotten MaxMind account info and a corresponding GeoIP.conf file for a new installation of eFA4.

Where does the GeoIP.conf file go?

File not used in eFa, eFa has its own config built-in.

Add the license key using eFa-Configure

I added the license key through eFa.

I suspect something is wrong with your Maxmind key. Can you double check it?

I did check and just in case regenerated a key.

FYI - there are 2 choices when generating the key. I chose the first one (latest version of MaxMind - >= 3.1.1)

Just for grins, I did the following:

[root@dardickmailgw ~]# tar -tf /var/www/html/mailscanner/temp/GeoLite2-Country.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Thanks Shawn!
