The company I work for has an instance of Ichnaea hosted on AWS. I set this up 
with dev version 2.1.0 and installation went fine. Then came the issue of 
uploading data into the database for geolocation requests. I got a combined 
dataset from https://www.mylnikov.org/download which combines MLS, openBmap and 
OpenCellID.

I’ve been trying to get geolocation working for the past couple of weeks, but 
to no avail. I’ve tried my best by looking at the source code, and managed to 
figure things out such as the database structure and table/column formatting, 
however after inserting presumably correct data records into the database, 
nothing works.

I need to know how to get data into the database (using v2.1.0) properly, as my 
method may be doing it wrong, and then get geolocate requests working. 
Currently I only get 404 errors, which seem to suggest that the location cannot 
be found, despite the cell towers in the request being in my current database. 
Another thing to note is that I only inserted into the cell_gsm and cell_lte 
tables so far and nothing else. I assumed the server could work in this state 
and that celery tasks would update the state accordingly, but this may not be 
the case. Maybe some steps on how to go from a newly installed Ichnaea 2.1.0 
instance to working geolocate requests would help out massively.

I know that Hannosch is working on reintroducing the import cell data tool 
(location_load from previous versions), but considering it could be a while 
till he implements that, I need some immediate assistance to overcome this 
issue. I hope this group is still active, even a couple of pointers would help 
since I've started running out of ideas to try! :D

Thanks in advance,
Ben
