I’m encountering an issue in my Discourse instance where the following error appears in the logs: MaxMindDB (/var/www/discourse/vendor/data/GeoLite2-City.mmdb) could not be found: No such file or directory 2 rb_sysopen - /var/www/discourse/vendor/data/GeoLite2-City.mmdb [The image displays a line of code output with an error message indicating that a file named 'GeoLite2-City.mmdb' could not be found at the specified path in the '/var/www/discourse/vendor' directory. (Captioned by AI)] It seems like Discourse is unable to locate the GeoLite2-City database. Has anyone else encountered this issue? What’s the best way to resolve it? Any guidance would be appreciated!

Have you set up Maxmind with a license key? Configure MAXMIND for reverse IP lookups

And use two spaces before those lines in app.yml. Missing those doesn’t break YML, but makes exacly that.

Hi @Arkshine and @Jagster, Thanks for your guidance so far! I don’t currently have a MaxMind license key. Can you confirm whether MaxMind offers their license key for free, or is it a paid service? Thanks again for your help! :blush:

Yes, you still can get the GeoLite2 free database. The guide is correct. :+1:

Hi @Arkshine and @Jagster, Thank you so much for your guidance and suggestions in fixing the MaxMind error issue! :folded_hands: With your help, I successfully signed up for a MaxMind account, set up the GeoLite2 database for my forums, and resolved the issue. Everything is working perfectly now! :tada: I really appreciate your time and expertise in helping me out. Thank you again! :blush:
