This page is unclear on exactly which MaxMind DB you need.
I found the answer here: http://h3x.no/2010/11/10/php-geoip-required-database-not-available-at-usrsharegeoipgeoip-dat
wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
MaxMind may have changed their site recently to highlight a different format; if you look on http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/ it links to a mmdb format file now.
Laufzeit-Konfiguration
Das Verhalten dieser Funktionen wird durch Einstellungen in der php.ini beeinflusst.
| Name | Standard | Veränderbar | Changelog |
|---|---|---|---|
| geoip.custom_directory | "" | INI_ALL |
Hier eine kurze Erklärung der Konfigurationsoptionen:
-
geoip.custom_directorystring -
Empty by default, but can be set to force a different database path than the one compiled in the library.

For me, It was needed also GeoIPCity.dat and adding extension to php.ini "extension=geoip.so" at the end of [PHP] section.
So ..
$details = geoip_record_by_name($ip_addr);
var_dump($details);
Now It works! :)
