i am using geoip http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/geoip/ and my database file is in extension/database/GeoLiteCity.dat i am accessing it as




'components'=>array(

		'user'=>array(

			// enable cookie-based authentication

			'allowAutoLogin'=>true,

		),

		'geoip' => array(

          'class' => 'application.extensions.geoip.CGeoIP',

          // specify filename location for the corresponding database

          'filename' => '/protected/extensions/database/GeoLiteCity.dat',

		  // Choose MEMORY_CACHE or STANDARD mode

          'mode' => 'STANDARD',

      ),

but when i run it give the error

fopen(/protected/extensions/database/GeoLiteCity.dat): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Srsly, guys, why do you hate to read error messages?..

fopen(/protected/extensions/database/GeoLiteCity.dat): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I’m pretty sure you have no /protected folder (you have something like /var/www/yourapp/protected instead)

Obviously you should set the correct path to the file (either set to full unix path or add yii’s aliases to dirs)

i also tried this




'geoip' => array(

          'class' => 'application.extensions.geoip.CGeoIP',

          // specify filename location for the corresponding database

          'filename' => Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/protected/extensions/database/GeoLiteCity.dat',

		  // Choose MEMORY_CACHE or STANDARD mode

          'mode' => 'STANDARD',

      ),

but it giving the error

Fatal error: Call to a member function getBaseUrl() on a non-object in E:\xampp\htdocs\yii\framework\base\CApplication.php on line 560

Configuration is parsed before instantiation of CWebApplication.

Also Yii::app()->getBaseUrl() returns a web URL but you need a filesystem path.

Try DIR (or dirname(FILE) for older versions of PHP).
