Hello...

The error log is very clear.
you miss the .dat file in your FTP folder..

Re-install GeoLiceCity by using your install_binary.sh and Watch if there´s a error log in console.

If you have error logs due to NOT FOUND (404) in web server, try to change the Maxmind URL....

from:

Code:

URL=http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/
FILE=GeoLiteCity.dat.gz

to:

Code:

URL=https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/
FILE=GeoLite2-City.tar.gz

And next time try to post more details about the machine you´re running...and post error logs here also.

Hello,
if you are using old HLStatsX, you can't only change URL, because GeoLite2-City.tar.gz using different file format (mmdb) and it's supported only with updated HLStatsX version - https://github.com/NomisCZ/hlstatsx-community-edition.

Yep, it's possible.
1. Stop daemon
2. Run all migration queries: https://github.com/NomisCZ/hlstatsx-...sql/migrations
3. Download latest daemon: https://github.com/NomisCZ/hlstatsx-...master/scripts
4. Replace all daemon files (backup your hlstatsx.conf before)
4. Install Perl packages (1.5. Install Perl packages) - https://github.com/NomisCZ/hlstatsx-...llation#-linux
5. Prepare GeoIP2 (2.4 Prepare GeoIP2) - https://github.com/NomisCZ/hlstatsx-...2-installation
6. Start daemon and check logs
7. Download latest web files - https://github.com/NomisCZ/hlstatsx-...ree/master/web
8. Backup your config.php, upload all files to your webhosting and remove updater folder

hi HiDeath and mariozankl

I restart your topic to find out if you have found a way to keep the old version and how to do it with the GeoLiteCity.dat file

Hey there,

You have to do it the old way, pick that files shared from the google drive (thanks for sharing!). Place it in GeoLiteCity folder and give 777 permissions to this file, after that restart daemon and it should work!
