 * Hi there,
 * I have uploaded the file IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN to the wp-content/plugins/ip2location-
   redirection directory, but the settings page is no longer recognizing it. Beside“
   File Name”, it shows IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN with the tooltip error “Database
   file not found”, and the top of the settings page shows “ERROR: Unable to find
   the IP2Location BIN database!”.
 * The manual update process has worked in the past, and no new plugins or themes
   have been installed so I’m not sure why the plugin has stopped updating the database
   properly.
 * I also tried the CSV option, that was not regonized either.

 * Hi,
 * If you are using the latest version of the plugin, please download the BIN database
   from the setting page using download token. The latest version no longer reading
   the BIN file from the plugin directory.

 * Hello,
 * I have the same issue but the download token is not working and I get “no permission”
 * I have tried refreshing the token but I still get the same error.
 * Is there any workaround?

 * I tried using the download key to download the Lite DB1 file. The process didn’t
   error out, and finished quickly, but nothing changed. I tried saving the page
   and it still said no database exists.
