Cant install IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN

Hello again hai3009,

First of all, I appreciate your contributions to improve this plugin!

And sorry about this issue for long time. This error comes from _unzip_file_ziparchive(). But this function does not seem to be the direct cause.

elseif ( 'zip' === $args && class_exists( 'ZipArchive' ) ) {
    // https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/unzip_file
    WP_Filesystem();
    $tmp = get_temp_dir();
    $ret = unzip_file( $src, $tmp ); // ← Your issue happens here!

    if ( is_wp_error( $ret ) )
        throw new Exception(
            $ret->get_error_code() . ' ' . $ret->get_error_message()
        ); // ← Error message is returned here!
    ...
}

This code means that downloaded file would be unzipped into the temporary directory which is from get_temp_dir().

So could you check if WP_TEMP_DIR is defined in your wp-config.php and its permission?

If this is OK, I should provide you a debug version to identify the issue.

Thanks.

I kind of have the same issue. Although not on a Windows Server.

In Validation rule settings it says:
IP2Location : IP2Location.class.php: Unable to open file "/home/.sites/7/[removed]/web/[removed]/wp-content/ip-geo-api/ip2location/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN".

In Local database settings it says:
IP2Location database (IPv4) – 403 Forbidden
IP2Location database (IPv6) – 403 Forbidden

Could not download the zip the other (kind of similar) thread to perform tests. wp-config is correct.

Thanks and best,
Simon

Hi Simon,

In Local database settings it says:
IP2Location database (IPv4) – 403 Forbidden
IP2Location database (IPv6) – 403 Forbidden

Good information! Download request might be refused by the IP2Location server. Please try to download them manually from the like on “Attribution” tab.

And I should notice to my users to add attribution link to their sites!

Hello guys,

It’s quite difficult for me to make it better compatibility between different platforms, but I had added a fallback process when this type of error happens.

And also add links to zip and gz files in order to make manual downloading easy.

I appreciate you to follow the steps for checking:

1. Deactivate this plugin.
2. Download the beta version 3.0.2b from https://github.com/tokkonopapa/WordPress-IP-Geo-Block/archive/3.0.2.zip
3. Unzip and upload “ip-geo-block” to your “/wp-content/plugins/”. Overwriting should be OK.
4. Activate this plugin again.

Thanks for your cooperation to improve this plugin!

Hi tokkonopapa,

i have checked, i did not have a temp dir in wp-config, i have much blogs and at all it did not have this. I install all my WP Blogs manually and on all of them never will be created this or such a /tmp directory.

If I set up manually in wp-config the “define TMP” nothing happens, I tryed to setup a new function in the functions.php of my theme but than I receive an other error…

I have installed the new version, where can I find the links for manually download the file? I have not found it, sorry.

Kin regards

Hi @hai3009,

Sorry but it’s too difficult to find the download link :-P. Here is the answer:

Please make sure to deactivate and activate again.

Regarding to the TMP directory, I made you a bit confused. You don’t have to take the trouble to define TMP directory. WP set the proper directory.

In the beta version 3.0.2b, I add a fallback process same as in this topic https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/deactivated-after-updte-why/ because the process of unzip had changed since other issue.

Any of your feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.
