Topic: VS18 mod_maxminddb.so and mod_ip2location

[RolfBos]

Does anyone have a compiled version of mod_maxminddb.so?

Compatible with the latest VS18 Apache version pls...

[nono303]

Hi,
You can find mod_maxminddb 1.3.0.83 (bc24e6a 2026-05-14) vs18 x64 build here

[RolfBos]

I've downloaded both versions: vs18_x64-avx.zip and vs18_x64-avx2.zip
but this mod_maxminddb.so is NOT compatible with our Apache httpd-2.4.67-260504-Win64-VS18.
Other sugesstion?

[timo]

I'm using mod_maxminddb-1.2.0.160-2.4.x-x64-vs17 from Apach e Haus https://www.apachehaus.com/cgi-bin/download.plx
It's vs17 but runs fine with Apache 2.4.67

[RolfBos]

Yes, I do that too. I also use the VS17 version but I was hoping someone had a good compatible VS18 version. It would be a nice addition to the existing Apache Lounge mods

What error do you get. Or at start.

[nono303]

mod_maxminddb.so is linked with shared /bin/maxminddb.dll which must be in your path

[Steffen]

Please try this one :

https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VS18/modules/mod_maxmindd-260520-Win64.rar


The default CMake build file that comes with the package wants to build a static library; hence created a maxminddb.lib file.


copy maxminddb.lib to your /bin folder

cppy mod_maxminddb.so to your /modules folder

[RolfBos]

THX, testing the new mmdb.so file right now.

[RolfBos]

Is there by any chance also a compatible VS18 version for IP2LOCATION-LITE-ASN.BIN as well?

https://github.com/ip2location/ip2location-apache

[Steffen]

Tangent was kind to build one, and updated his script https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=44351#44351


Please test

https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VS18/modules/mod_ip2location-260526-Win64.rar

See readme.txt in the rar.

[RolfBos]

Thank you very much for your IP2location file. I'm going to test it out right away. Much appreciated.

I hope you can solve the problem.

As Steffen implied, we've been able to compile this ip2location module under VS18 against the HTTPD 2.4.67 build structure, but are unable to test it in detail.

Your post throws up a number of potential issues, which may explain why things are not behaving as you'd expect:

1) Your post details confirm you're running against WAMP binaries rather than those for the Apache Lounge build, against which these extra ip2location files were built.

2) Exception code: 0xc0000005 is an Access Violation, which in this situation rather suggest incompatible software components.

3) Your log shows you are also using mod_ip2proxy; another ip2location related module which we've not considered to date.

I'm not sure what to suggest here.

I could update the HowTo to add further code to build the ip2proxy module, but am not sure this will solve your problem.

I presume there are no errors reported in the log file, that would help. What happens if you up the LogLevel to debug?

[RolfBos]

You are right, I made a mistake.

I am looking for a compiled version of mod_ip2proxy.so that is compatible with Apache Lounge v2.4.67-260504 VS18 Win64?

Does anyone have it or can anyone put it online?

[tangent]

@Otomatic - My sincere apologies. I should have checked facts before posting.

@RolfBos - It would seem there are quite a few ip2location repositories on GitHub; somewhat difficult to follow.

Looking at https://github.com/ip2location/ip2proxy-c the code listed produces another library, plus an executable.

Believe that library is needed to link with the ip2proxy Apache module, found here https://github.com/ip2location/ip2proxy-apache.

Assuming these are what you need, I'll see if I can add them to the extra modules build HowTo.

This is great! Even with a captcha I got tons of spam from my contact forms. Added a little code and countries can no longer see my contact form!

This is just with IP2Location. Obviously if they use a proxy they will still see it.
