I found the file. And found re-installed. If I run the command suggested in the instructions I get:

 

geoip_lookup -f /shared/GeoIP/F5GeoIPOrg.dat 65.61.115.197

opening database in /shared/GeoIP/F5GeoIPOrg.dat size of geoip database = 200569742, version = GEO-148 20140703 Build 1 Copyright (c) F5 Networks Inc All Rights Reserved geoip_seek = 0186dd6e geoip record ip = 65.61.115.197 name = f5 networks

 

but when I try to run the same command for an IP that shows in the logs as EU but should be US, I get this: geoip_lookup -f /shared/GeoIP/F5GeoIPOrg.dat 198.135.124.30 opening database in /shared/GeoIP/F5GeoIPOrg.dat size of geoip database = 200569742, version = GEO-148 20140703 Build 1 Copyright (c) F5 Networks Inc All Rights Reserved geoip_seek = 00c9652c geoip record ip = 198.135.124.30 name = ipv4 address block not managed by the ripe ncc

 

And when I look at the files in the /shared/GeoIP/ folder, the F5GeoIP.dat file is only 32B and looks to be a shortcut?
