When I start pulse I get an error message saying that GeoIP.dat cannot be found and a no lookup provider will be used. What's with the GeoIP.dat and where do I get it/what does it do?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Hi jmyer,
thanks for your request.
The default GeoIP provider of pulse use the Maxmind database http://www.maxmind.com.
The IP to country service is configured in WEB-INF/conf/pulse.xml:
The GeoIPLocatorProvider itself is configured in WEB-INF/conf/org.torweg.pulse.util.ip2country.GeoIPLocatorProvider.xml
You can get Maxmind's country database here:

Hope this helps you.
Cheers,
Thomas
thanks :)
