There was a geoip-cache file from November, which I guess is the last time it worked. I renamed that in case it was corrupted. A new one hasn't been created, I don't think. _ Get more out of the Web.

There is also no mention of GeoIP in the log. Are we talking about different things here? How does all the geographic information get uploaded into Vidalia?

Everything accepted in my exit policy is listed in /etc/services as modified to conform to the official list of allocated TCP ports, except for a few tor-related ports (reject *:9051, accept *:9001, accept *:9030), and I wasn't aware that the geoip project had appropriated a port for its own use. I've now added ExitPolicy accept 128.213.48.13:1443 to my torrc, and it has just now been published. Scott Bennett, Comm.

Geoip information
Hi, Vidalia has not been showing any geographic data for me for a couple of months now (OSX10.3.9 Tor 0.2.0.34 Vidalia 0.1.10). Last time I asked it was a server problem. Is this still the case? If it's a bug/config issue I will submit a Flyspray ticket. GD _ Get more out of the Web.
