Hello,
I have recently moved my website to a new host (shared hosting account). My website had some custom made plugins from a developer I am no longer in contact with. I remember an extension called GeoIP was installed on the previous server for the plugins to work. I know that the GeoIP extension is from Maxmind. And had the following file path /usr/share/GeoIP
Since moving to the new host, it seems like my website is trying to find GeoIp via this file path, but fails to do so.
The problem is, I have no idea how this extension was installed in the first place. I want GeoIP on my new host. I am new to coding and still trying to learn. Can you point me in the right direction, please : ) ?
Basically I want to know the following:
1. How is a GeoIP extension installed, in very simple terms? Is this something I can do? Or is this something only the new server host can do?
2. What is the file path /usr/share/GeoIP? I do not see this in the public html folder on the server (where my wordpress website is stored)? I have no idea where that file path is.
Any help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Jamie
