I was updating the wrong config file. Make sure to update the config file in the bootstrap/config folder, not in the vendor/torann/geoip/config folder.

I had the same problem and I fixed it up. just update config/geoip.php file you can check here https://github.com/Torann/laravel-geoip/blob/master/config/geoip.php

I solve this after publish config

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Torann\GeoIP\GeoIPServiceProvider" --tag=config

@liyu001989 if someone already publishes config file with the older version then it won't work and geoip.php file is updated have to update geoip.php file

@liyu001989 Same problem, awesome fix.

I don't really agree on this being a "fix", shouldn't Laravel packages not require their config to be published? Wouldn't that make it a bit hard to have packages use packages?
