Problem with latest Docker image

[Darren Ankney]

Hi Randy,

I've not used the docker images or "geoip-directory", but the error
message you found sounds like support for this is a compile time
option that was not enabled.  Perhaps check your configuration.  Does
it contain "geoip-directory"?  Do you need this support?  If not, I
suggest disabling the configuration directive. You may be using it in
an access control list, so check your configuration for that too. See
here: https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9.20.10/reference.html#namedconf-statement-geoip-directory
and here: https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9.20.10/chapter7.html#access-control-lists

Thank you,
Darren Ankney

However when I use the most recent image (~6/18/25), named fails to start (no error message given). I tried upping the debug level with -d 9, but there was still no error message, either in the logs or to stdout.
