Drupal 7 is no longer supported in a month. Closing old issues. If this is still something you want addressed in the current 5.x version of the module, please re-open and provide some next steps.
Please remove the use of fopen() from Smart IP. When the recommend php.ini server setting of ‘allow_url_fopen = Off’ is set, Smart IP throws errors and does not download the MaxMind GeoIP2 binary database.
Settings from /admin/config/people/smart_ip
Use MaxMind GeoIP2 binary database.
MaxMind GeoIP2 binary database version => Lite
MaxMind GeoIP2 binary database edition => City
Automatic MaxMind GeoIP2 binary database update => Yes
‘Update database now’ results in:
Database last updated on 11/1/2017 at 12:28:04 CDT
Even though no database has been download. An empty file is created.
‘Recent log messages’ contains the actual error:
Warning: fopen(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0 in smart_ip_maxmind_bin_db_update() (line 461 of sites/all/modules/smart_ip/includes/smart_ip.utility.inc).
cd sites/default/files/private/smart_ip
rm GeoLite2-City.mmdb
wget -c "http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz" *
tar -zxf GeoLite2-City.tar.gz
cp GeoLite2-City_20171003/GeoLite2-City.mmdb .
* From https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/
You will need to change path(s) and/or filename(s) based upon your site’s settings.
After manually adding the file, per above, the rest of Smart IP seems to work properly.
You are also advised to turn off automatic updates, see next section.
Changing
Automatic MaxMind GeoIP2 binary database update => No
Results in a near WSOD upon ‘Save configuration.’
The configuration options have been saved.
The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
The change is saved as can be seen after reloading the /admin/config/people/smart_ip page.

Although why not use one of the Drupal 7 API calls instead?
