Issue with Symfony 4.4 integration - The file var/cache/dev/GeoLite2-City.mmdb does not exist or is not readable

[MilesYM]

Hi there,

I've followed the steps to integrate the librairy in my project. I've created a Service to use it in my code like so:

// src/Service/GeoipLib.php

namespace App\Services;

use GeoIp2\Database\Reader;

class GeoIPLib
{
    private $reader;

    public function __construct(Reader $reader)
    {
        $this->reader = $reader;
    }

    public function getCity($ip)
    {
        // get a GeoIP2 City model
        $record = $this->reader->city($ip);
        return $record->mostSpecificSubdivision->name;
    }

    public function getCountry($ip)
    {
        // get a GeoIP2 City model
        $record = $this->reader->city($ip);
        return $record->country->isoCode;
    }

    public function getPostalCode($ip)
    {
        // get a GeoIP2 City model
        $record = $this->reader->city($ip);
        return $record->postal->code;
    }
}

and my config file is as follow:

# Read the README file for more detailed configuration information
# https://github.com/gpslab/geoip2
gpslab_geoip:
    # You should specify your personal licence key
    license: 'XXXXX'

    # Edition ID of database you need
    edition: 'GeoLite2-City'

    url: 'https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-City&license_key=XXXXX&suffix=tar.gz'

If I follow the url, it does download the file so the key seems good to me.

However, when I'm trying to use the librairy, I'm getting the following error message:

The file var/cache/dev/GeoLite2-City.mmdb does not exist or is not readable

Indeed, it does not exist in the cache folder.

Please help. Thank you.

Good day

You need to download the database before starting work using the command:

php bin/console geoip2:update

That was it. Thank you my friend!
