Country not set
Tiaan1 opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi im having issues with the country, it will set the IP correctly but the country in database is Null? Using laravel 5.2
just to confirm, did you downloaded the maxmind geo database (step 5 of the install) and put it in a folder /storage/geo ? the package basically check the ip address of the visitor against the maxmind geo db, to set the country code.
let me know.
That is correct yes, i have downloaded the file from their website and placed it in storage/geo but still nothing. I'm not sure if this could be a localhost issue. but i doubt.
is the app still hosted on your localhost? if that's the case the IP address the package is registering is the 127.0.0.1 which don't have a country code! one way of checking is to register manually a fake record in your db with your ISP public ip address and check what code it's the code it's gonna show when you do dd(Visitor:get( your ISP IP address)) !
let me know
Yes that is correct, i think the issue is possibly localhost, i will check it out and let you know. Thanks for the support :)
