Re: GEO:COUNTRY_CODE returns an empty string

1. Can you trying running the command “lsof” to see if your GeoIP database file ever gets opened?

2. Also what’s the chmod on that maxminddb file?

3. Also also, have you tried putting it in “usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP2-***.mmdb”. Maybe the ModSec 3 documentation says to do something different (not looking at it right now) but when using PHP/Go/Apache Web Server you’re always supposed to put it there.

4. Finally, you could try putting a small PHP program/file on your web server that prints out the country code (see the examples in the official PHP api by MaxMind: https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-php/blob/master/README.md) to see if that works. This makes it much easier to troubleshoot.
