No geo provider configured

[praveenkumar2608]

Hi,

I am trying to configure GeoDNS. I have build the geoDNS from source and downloaded GeoLite2.mmdb databases under '/usr/share/GeoIP/', I have specified the same directory under geodns.conf.

When I run the server with -checkconfig=true, I am getting my zone does not configure with Geo Provider. I have set targets in my zone file.

Please let me know what could be the problem and also verify my zone config and let me know will this configuration works?

What do the logs say?

@abh Thanks for your quick reply. It was permission issue for the .mmdb files. Now this is working like a charm. One other problem I could see is the chained CNAME is not resolving to the IP address.

Also, say for an example if I a CNAME which I want to associate to multiple regions like (IN-TN, IN-KA, IN_AP, IN-KL), I couldn't find the option. I have to create individual CNAME for each region like mentioned below. Is there a way to change the associate a cname to a list of regions.

"accl.tamilnadu": {
"cname": "insouth-test.praveentest.com.",

"accl.karnataka": {
"cname": "insouth-test.praveentest.com.",
