Sitecore Upgrade Headaches: Analytics

We once upgraded a Sitecore site from 6.5 to 6.6 and there was an error thrown related to Analytics configurations.  In the Sitecore.Analytics.Config file, please find this entry:


<setting name="Analytics.PerformLookup" value="true" /> 

 This would perform a GeoIP lookup of the current user.  This service also requires a paid subscription to a GeoIP lookup provider.

The url of the provider is here:

<setting name="MaxMind.Url" value="http://sitecore1.maxmind.com/app/sc?i={0}&amp;l={1}" />

These errors are usually nested deep inside the log files and will not cause site downtime but fixing this stops unnecessary log entries.
