Hello,

After klicking on the button update GeoIP database in Akeeba Admin i get an site error: 0 - Error opening database file (/home/dutchfie/public_html/plugins/system/akgeoip/lib/../db/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb). Is this a valid MaxMind DB file?

After that it is not possible to enter the admin console of Joomla nor can i open my website. It only shows the error. I logged in file manager and renamed the dir /home/dutchfie/public_html/plugins/system/akgeoip to akgeoip-old.

After that i was able to enter my admin console again and was my website online again.

I went to the akeeba admin tools console and i saw that there was an error about no Geoip plugin installed. But I choose to update to version 5.5.0 first. but now i do not see the geoip button, or error that is is not installed. I renamed the akgeoip dir back to its original name but that does give me back the button.

On your website there is not an option to download the geoip plugin.

Can you help wat to do, i want to block acces to the website on geoip bases.

regards,
Ernst te Brake.
