Because the databases have been updated new perl modules are required to support GeoIP v2. The core modules have a large number of dependencies and we have decided that it is not practical for the Koozali team to maintain them all.

As a result you will now need the OpenFusion repo to install smeserver-geoip We will be syncing their mirror in due course to speed up installs and updates.

yum  install smeserver-extrarepositories-openfusion
 +
signal-event yum-modify
 +
config set UnsavedChanges no

You can now follow these instructions to install GeoIP
