Can’t download Proxy database

It seems like your environment does not have sufficient memory for the setup. Please make sure you have increased the memory limit to 512MB in your php.ini.

Hello,

my hosting is not allowing such huge memory and your plugin is also apparently not compatible with Wordfence so I’ll explore other solutions…

Thanks for your reply

I am having the same issue but I have the following in my ini…
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 128M
upload_max_filesize = 512M

I have confirmed the setting in phpinfo. Any ideas? Is it possible to manually download the proxy db and manually upload it to the server via ftp?

Thanks!

@chelenthal Yes, you may manually upload the BIM file to wp-content/uploads/ip2location.

I manually uploaded the IP2PROXY-LITE-PX2.BIN to the wp-content/uploads/ip2location. But when I go in to settings and change the IP2Proxy Lookup Mode to Binary Database, it says “No IP2Proxy database available. Click the button below to download.” If I click the Download button, the download still fails. I have also tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin. Any ideas?

Thanks,
CH

Please go to the Setting page and check if the IP2Proxy database has been detected?

It is not detecting the file when I go to settings page. When I go in to settings and change the IP2Proxy Lookup Mode to Binary Database, it says “No IP2Proxy database available. Click the button below to download.” If I click the Download button, the download still fails (ie, it does not detect the file in the dir.

Thanks,

Can you attach a screenshot of your settings page?

Can you make sure the BIN file is readable by the Web server?

I have verified that the Proxy BIN file has 0644 privileges (same as the working IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.IPV6.BIN file.)

@chelenthal Please update your plugin to 2.25.8. It should able to detect your database immediately.

Now it does detect the BIN file when I select BIN, but when I choose save, it changes the IP2Proxy Lookup Mode to Disabled. However, if I choose to update the database, it now successfully downloads the update, and when you refresh the page as prompted, it does remain enabled in BIN mode. A bit of a dance to get it to work, but it does work, and as a bonus, I can actually download the update rather than having to FTP it to the folder.

Thanks!

EDIT, uploaded php.ini with 256 limit, works great.
