laravel-geoip: When CACHE_DRIVER=file => "This cache store does not support tagging"

Go to .env and write CACHE_DRIVER=array

@omer414 You can set the cache_tags to null or remove it completely from the config file. This will prevent using cache tags, but still cache. By doing this you lose the ability to clear the geoip only cache via the artisan command.

'cache_tags' => null,

Solved with this

'cache_tags' => env('CACHE_DRIVER', 'array') === "file" ? null : ['torann-geoip-location'],

Is it possible to do this without changing the cache driver to array? In the previous version this worked fine with the file driver, is there a way we can still do this with the file driver? I am a bit concerned about how it might effect the rest of the system.

To remove the cache tags you can set the option to null in the config file.

'cache_tags' => null,

@jonjie0317 The caching mentioned here is about caching the geo ip info only. Caching is always recommended to speed up and avoid looking up the same ip info over and over again. The package provides an artisan command to clear only the geo ip related cache. But this feature does not work with file or database cache. This also means that the package used to break on using these types of cache. A work over around was to lose the ability to clear geo ip only cache and yet have the package working and cache normally. You need to edit the geoip.php config file to get it working.

@SandeeshS It still not working huhu

Please check the latest documentation and make sure your installation is correct. http://lyften.com/projects/laravel-geoip/doc/

You should ultimately have the ‘config/geoip.php’ config file.

@SandeeshS Is it ok to lose the ability to clear the geoip? …and. I’m using laravel 5.1, how can I remove it? Here’s my cache.php:

<?php
