[tor-relays] GeoIPFile option warning

Mailing Lists tor-relays

I am seeing these warnings in Tor's notices.log:

Mar 24 09:42:21.000 [notice] Configured to measure directory request statistics, but no GeoIP database found. Please specify a GeoIP database using the GeoIPFile option.
Mar 24 09:42:21.000 [notice] Configured to measure entry node statistics, but no GeoIP database found. Please specify a GeoIP database using the GeoIPFile option.

However the option is set in torrc and i verified the files are at those locations and readable by all:

GeoIPFile /usr/local/share/tor/geoip
GeoIPv6File /usr/local/share/tor/geoip6

Any hints how i could check whether the warnings are spurious or dump what the running config actually is? I know it is reading the torrc because introducing an error in the file stops it from loading.

Or try running 'scripts/maint/geoip/update_geoip.sh'.

There is no such script in the folder in version 0.4.9.11

I compiled Tor from latest source tarball.

I have 'scripts\maint\geoip\update_geoip.sh'. But it's meant for
IP2Location (not GeoIP2. But since you're using the tarball,
that script is probably not included.

I'm not sure about the sorry state of geoip-info in Tor these
days. Someone else please clarify.
