[SOLVED] Install GeoIP package using yum on Centos issue

Issue

I am trying to get the db files from the geo ip, but my folder /usr/share/GeoIP folders is always empty. When running: yum install GeoIP, I am getting message:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirrors.xtom.nl
 * epel: mirror.hostnet.nl
 * extras: mirror.seedvps.com
 * updates: mirror.dataone.nl
Package GeoIP-1.5.0-14.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Any clue why my folder is empty ? PS: I removed the GeoIP folder (with the old version of the db) and recreated it manually.

Thnx

Solution

Seems like the package locate file in different directory. You can check where the files are located with command:

rpm -ql GeoIP
