Support

 I did read tickets and found the issue. It was great to be reminded to turn on all error reporting to see where the error was coming from . White screen (errors) caused after clicking the "Update Geoip database" button.

Error shown (for others searching...)
'Error opening database file (.../public_html/mywebsite/plugins/system/akgeoip/lib/../db/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb). Is this a valid MaxMind DB file?'

I added this ticket to actually report that the direct link (from Downloads when signed in with my ID) doesn't work. Had to download and then upload the plugin 1.05 to fix the problem.

Error I got when I copied the link and used in install. (several attempts)
Error connecting to the server: Error Unknown
Invalid URL

Feel free to close this.
Thanks for great support, as always.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't mentioned that previous to this update, I never had a problem with the "Update GeoIP Database" button.

I have used the direct link before.

The error message clearly indicated that the database was invalid.

Would it be possible for you to code a check into the plug-in to catch this error so that it doesn't cause the entire site to go down due to a fatal error? (Just a suggestion).

The information you asked for is on the "PHP Information" tab, not the "PHP Settings" tab. Please see it below:

cURL support enabled
cURL Information 7.37.1
Protocols dict, file, ftp, ftps, gopher, http, https, imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s, rtsp, smtp, smtps, telnet, tftp
libz Yes
-------------
allow_url_fopen On

Fortunately, downloading the full 1.05 package and installing that works.

Feel free to close this ticket.
