Geolitecity.dat

[BillP]

Where does Blesta expect to find GeoLiteCity.dat?

 

The only reference I can find to it is in settings/system/general/geoip/ where it says 'The file should be unzipped and uploaded to system/GeoLiteCity.dat'. I'm not clear what is meant by 'system'. I tried putting it in /usr/local/share/GeoIP as suggested on the MaxMind site, but it doesn't seem to be recognised there. My server is Ubuntu 12.04.

 

Having got it working, what features does Blesta have to use GeoIP?

 

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Paul, that worked fine.

 

Now - what facilities does this give me?

 

Primarily, you'll be able to see the location of people by hovering over their IP address on their client profile page, hovering their name in the System Overview widget on the dashboard, and under Tools > Logs > User Logins.

 

The information may be available in future features, and can be taken advantage of by plugins if they make use of it.

First set your uploads directory under Settings > System > General > Basic Setup. It should be something like /home/username/uploads/. Make sure uploads is writable and has 2 directories within it. "system" and "1".

 

ie

 

/home/username/uploads/

/home/username/uploads/1/

/home/username/uploads/system/

 

Then, put the GeoLiteCity.dat file in the system directory.
