My PHP version is: 8.3.19
My Database type and version is: 11.4.6-MariaDB-deb12-log

Your problem
My problem is: I cannot figure out how to properly configure the maxmind settings in config/local.php for the mautic:donotsell:download cron job to work.

These errors are showing in the log:

[2025-05-27T02:52:14.499146+00:00] mautic.ERROR: Missing file path {“hostname”:“mautic.0”,“pid”:1682}
[2025-05-27T02:57:14.893440+00:00] mautic.WARNING: Command mautic:max-mind:purge exited with status code 1 {“hostname”:“mautic.0”,“pid”:1715}

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:
This is what I currently have in my config/local.php related to the maxmind settings:

'maxmind' => array(
    'license_key' => '<my-licence-key-string>',
    'donot_sell_file_path' => '/var/www/html/private/maxmind.json'
),

When running the command directly, the only error information that is displayed is:

$ php bin/console mautic:donotsell:download

Automatically fetching Do Not Sell data failed.

Do I need more than the free MaxMind account to access this?

Hi Mike,

Did you ensure that your license key is in the correct format? Does your regular maxmind download work?

The key needs to be in the format AccountID:Licensekey.

Yep - my license key is in the format that you indicated.

Also yes, php bin/console mautic:iplookup:download works.
