Geolocation download link has changed

E111 · January 15, 2019, 1:33pm

Hi!
We noticed that the link to download the geolocation database GeoLite City has stopped working. We are using:
http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz

But according to MaxMind´s webpage there seems to be a new version of the database: GeoLite2 City. See: GeoLite2 Free Downloadable Databases « MaxMind Developer Site

The new link to download GeoLite2City seems to be:
http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz

Perhaps you could correct the link in your next update/bugfix? Thanks in advance!
Best regards.

You need to switch to GeoIp2 to be able to continue using MaxMind.

Maxmind has completely discontinued GeoIP Legacy Lite support. No databases in t…hat format are available for free download anymore. Commercial databases might still be up (don't have access, so can't check if that's the case) See https://support.maxmind.com/geolite-legacy-discontinuation-notice/ Therefor we completely should remove the GeoIP Legacy support in one of the upcoming version or a least in 4.0. The GeoIP Legacy Autoupdater should already be removed (or automatically be disabled if a GeoLite DB is configured) in one of the next releases as it can't work anymore.
