Piwik Geolocalization and GeoIPCity.dat problem

Is it possible you are using an fork of the geoip php extension?
It seems like you are running into the same error as

github.com/matomo-org/matomo

geoip.inc is breaking when geoip_* functions are already defined

Bug not-in-changelog

### Abstract `/libs/MaxMindGeoIP/geoip.inc` isn't checking whether all function…s that it implements in the `geoip_*` namespace already exist. This can lead to fatal errors in Piwik when a non-default version of `geoip.so` is installed on the server. ### Solution Every `geoip_*` function defined in this file should be surrounded by a check for existence, like some of them already have them. ``` if (!function_exists('geoip_xxx')) { ... } ``` ### Example We've recently upgraded our production environment to PHP7, using Ondřej Surý's excellent PPA for PHP7 in Ubuntu. But as the official `geoip` extension hasn't been ported to PHP7 yet, we had to compile some fork that has this support enabled. The best choice seemed to be @Zakays fork (https://github.com/Zakay/geoip) and it worked fine for our needs. This extension also implements some functions in the `geoip_*` namespace that aren't available in the default PHP5 extension, but are defined in the aforementioned `geoip.inc` file, which leads to an error like: ``` PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare geoip_country_code_by_addr() in /var/www/piwik/libs/MaxMindGeoIP/geoip.inc ```
