Not a valid aggregate or forensic report after fresh Install with 8.3.x

[leonardo0014]

Based on the information in ticket #287 (Files https://github.com/domainaware/parsedmarc/issues/287#issuecomment-1029983415) , I reinstalled the script on my SuSE Linux Version 15 in a virtual environment. Unfortunately this didn't help, the error keeps coming

Hi

Unfortunately, the latest update to 8.3.1 still didn't solve the problem. In order not to post a new ticket, I changed the title.

is it possibly due to python 3.9?

Hi

I finally figured out what my mistakes were. Error 1 is in the example ini file. There at the parameter "ip_db_path". I only had the path "/usr/share/GeoIP" there, but not only the path but the mmdb file must be specified directly. From the manual:

ip_db_path - str: An optional custom path to a MMDB file from MaxMind or DBIP

This was probably changed or corrected after an update.

Now the script runs, but still doesn't output anything. Error 2 was also in the sample ini file. There at the "silent" parameter, which was not set.

From the manual:

silent - bool: Only print errors (Default: True)

In summary the solution in the .ini:

[general]
#ip_db_path = /usr/share/GeoIP/
silent = False

Suggestion to the developers: a) Renames the "ip_db_path" parameter to "ip_db_file". b) Outputs the error with the database not found on the CLI
