Install GeoIP package using yum on Centos 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

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

    rpm -ql GeoIP
