I am using geonames on webtrees 1.7.1, a fully tested open-source genealogy program. I have created a geonames account and entered the username in the admin setup, but the geonames lookup is failling with a "401 unauthorized" error.
Other users appear not to have experienced any problems. Suggestions please.
the accounts were orginally used for editing the wiki interface, for the use of the webservice you have to activate the ws on the account page. This means there are two steps:
1) activate account (verify email)
2) enable for web service usage
