Thank you for the help

I can confirm I had the same problem on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install. I manually downloaded "GeoLite2-City.mmdb" to "/var/king-phisher/" which seems to have fixed the problem after a reboot. I am guessing this is related to the recent changes Maxmind did where they now require an API key to download this file. You might have to register to the Maxmind website to download this file manually.

[zoubida43]

Thanks for pointing that out. It resolved my issue

Hey, it's possible that this is a bug that I may have introduced in some changes I made recently. Can you please run file data/server/king_phisher/GeoLite2-City.mmdb; ls -lha data/server/king_phisher/GeoLite2-City.mmdb from your King Phisher directory and send me the output?

I'm wondering if shipping the database file with LFS is breaking it for new installations.

[kermana]

Sure thing! Here is the output:

Yup, thanks that confirms my suspicion. This is a bug.

Alright so the changes I made to address #418 require the user to have git-lfs installed in order to check out the large database that I'm now distributing. Since git-lfs should be included as a dependency in the install file, but it looks like some older versions of Linux that we still support don't have it (Fedora 26 for example).

To fix this, I'm also distributing the file over S3. If the database appears to be corrupt, a new one will be downloaded, either from MaxMind if a license is specified (which isn't fully exposed to the user at this time) or the older version from S3. That should fix the issue so you'll have a database and the server can start whether or not you have git-lfs installed.

Changes are in commit 9a15a0c246ba3169b427af5652e9dba956d8b3cf.
