Error when moving to production

[novakben]

Hi!

Everything works localy, but when moving to production I get this error when trying to get the IP's location: The file "/var/www/laravel/app/database/maxmind/GeoLite2-City.mmdb" does not exist or is not readable.

I'm calling it like this: $location = GeoIP::getLocation();

Like the error says, make sure the file exists in that location and that it's readable by PHP. For example, if the PHP process is running as user "www-data", make sure that www-data has read permissions on the file.

Ok it worked, I wonder why it didnt ask for it in the local version... probably because the ip is local... so it defaults to new haven.

Thanks!

No worries.
