First of all, you are using the wrong version of the GeoIP library. The library you have installed is version 1, whereas vBSecurity requires version 2.

Secondly, you are linking to a directory, when you need to link directly to the .mmdb file.

Please follow the instructions in the description to download the GeoLite2-City.mmdb file and place it somewhere on your server, then enter the full path to that file in the description.

Did you actually download the file from the link in the description?

Also, make sure it's readable by PHP. This is not a bug, the setting validation checks if the file exists and it's readable - if not, it will throw an error to indicate there's something wrong on the server.

Yes, I downloaded the file from the link in the description, Also i am Installing the Database with the details.

1: wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz
2: gunzip GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz
3: mkdir /usr/local/share/GeoIP
4: mv GeoLite2-City.mmdb /usr/local/share/GeoIP/

But still are not working.

 

[Fillip H.]

Then that means the /usr/local/share/GeoIP is not accessible by PHP. Try putting it in a new folder above your public_html directory, and ensure that the file is owned by the same user and group that your web server runs as.

Example:
path: /home/dbtech/GeoIP2/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
owner: dbtech
group: dbtech

Its working File Path : /home/user/public_html/GeoIP2/GeoLite2-City.mmdb with permissions (chmod) of a file 0644

Sorry for ask here but my question, Fillip H. does your IP banned by vBSecurity from my site? to be clear if you are not permitted.

I'm not sure why the server IP would show up in your log, but it's nothing to worry about regardless
