Summary0006617: There seems to be an issue with the updated GeoIP feature on 6.2.4-rc1 on Windows
DescriptionI've been playing with the new release (6.2.4-rc1) and there seems to be an issue with the updated GeoIP feature affecting the Windows version of the software.

I've tried 6.2.4-rc1 on two new virtual machines (so there would be no left overs of a previous installation of unrealircd); one running Debian 13 and the other Windows 10 LTSC.

On Linux, the code compiles fine and after editing unrealircd.conf, I get the irc server running without any issues.

On Windows, I always get a fatal error:
[error] conf/modules.default.conf:318: loadmodule classic: failed to load: Cannot open module file: No such file or directory

In modules.default.conf, the line 318 reads:
loadmodule "$GEOIP_ENGINE";

To make sure it wasn't a user error on my part, I've copied both unrealircd.conf and modules.default.conf from my Linux install to my Windows virtual machine but I still get the same error.

If I manually edit modules.default.conf and change the line 318 to
loadmodule "geoip_classic";
the server starts fine. Obviously, commenting out the line also allows Unrealircd to run.

Thanks for the report :). I have replaced the Windows download. That's not how one should do version management, but is what i did. That one fixes this issue.

Will double check when we release 6.2.4 that this is right. In the meantime I also still need to get geoip_mmdb compiled on Windows at all, it is currently failing, so hence using classic.
