Having trouble using GeoIP.bat

    Hello, I'm a happy user of ISPConfig 3. Though, I came across and issue I can't see to understand nor solve. I use GeoLiteCity.bat to retrieve geolocation of the users online. I didn't install the Apache mod, I just use it like it, directly from PHP using their pure PHP module.

    Anyway, using it with ISPConfig doesn't seem to work. I guess it's for some restriction reasons, because when I run it on my server's www root (where ISPConfig didn't modify anything, accessed directly from my server's IP), it works just like it should. But when I use it in a website's folder it totally screws the output. I don't get any error message, but I can clearly see something went wrong. The output is wrong and incomplete. I can't seem to find any information about this on the web, am I the only with this issue ?

    Before you suggest it though, I do not want to install the mod for Apache, I just want it to run from a folder. I never had problems before (using CPanel as my hosting panel, or using it locally).

    Thank you for your suggestions

    Shouldn't it be GeoIP.dat instead of GeoIP.bat? Maybe you use the wrong file name.

    Oh no, sorry this is just a typo in the thread. In my script it is the right path to the database.

    Are open_basedir restrictions in effect? Please check your open_basedir setting (on the Options tab of your website in ISPConfig).

    Yes, it is base_dir restricted but the location of the file (the GeoIP database) is within the base_dir authorisation.
