Error when using GeoIP

[Ali Jawad]

Hi Jeremy
Thanks for chipping in. Usual as ever. So I did actually use geoip-directory
"/usr/share/GeoIP";

and ls of that dir is

[root at uk etc]# ls -lart /usr/share/GeoIP/

-rw-r--r--   1 root root 1206078 Jul  1 10:08 GeoIP.dat



The output from the logs is

Jul  1 14:38:56 uk named[1795]: using "/usr/share/GeoIP" as GeoIP directory

Jul  1 14:38:56 uk named[1795]: GeoIP Country (IPv4) (type 1) DB not
