Automatic updates of GeoIP databases

Support & Bugs

Hi,

is there any way to manually trigger the automatic GeoIP Update?
Need to check if the File Permissions of the manually placed DB File are correct … so that auto-updater can overwrite it.

Thank you

Not implemented sorry

ok :-/
is there any possibility to foresee WHEN the db file is going to be updated? So I can have a look in the Logfiles …

as it seems the auto update won’t work for me … configured it to update every week - and no GeoIP DB Update happened so far! :-/

guess updated DB should replace existing withing misc/, right?
right now I have it configured this way:

misc/GeoIPCity.dat -> GeoLiteCity.dat
misc/GeoLiteCity.dat

is something wrong with that? Any chance to figure out why Auto-Update is not working on my installation?

Thank you

Why not just write a bash script put it in cron and have it do exactly what you want?

That is how I update the MaxMind dat files once a month. I picked a random day each month and just let cron do the rest.
