Hi RACER,

The PHP GeoIP extension is not installed on the shell server. Instead, I would suggest using https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-php and a local copy of the GeoIP database that you acquire (if not the API).

Drew,

Thanks for the reply.

I suspected as much. The only reason I asked is, I found some GeoLite2 database files in /usr/share/GeoIP. Can I point my maxmind functions to them? They appear to be pretty current.

I'm not sure I need to mess with the API. But that's just it, I'm not sure...

thanks

It looks like those are updated and are copies of the new free geolite2 databases found at https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/ge ... #Downloads so it looks like you can point your functions at those, and barring any major changes, they should remain at that location and available for a long time.
