when i try to update the country ban list i get this error;

<BoaR> -countryban update
<speedvision> Please wait, updating Maxmind GeoIP database (this may take a while)...
<speedvision> An error occured while updating the database (restoring previous objects)

well the owner tried to help me but wasnt quite sure what to do, he told me to manually download GeoIPCountryCSV.zip and he helped me change the script so that the script wont download the file but instead use the downloaded file, i have the same error either way so he said not to use it..

perhaps others had the same problem with the script so i am trying to get help here hoping one could tell exactly what the problem is..

thanks

Could you try executing "unzip -p geoip.db", where geoip.db would be the downloaded archive, and post the result?

well it looks like it's unzipping but i dont see an unzipped file after unzipping.

[nml375]

Actually, what you should see is the unzipped content written directly to stdout. If not, this is the reason the script does'nt work for you, as the unzip binary does'nt support "unzip to pipe".

does it work for you out of the box ?

on my shell i did: unzip --help
-p extract files to pipe, no messages

unzip supports -p switch on my shell.
