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? |

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  |

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

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? |

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?  |

Hi,
Wamp Apache is built using the Apache Lounge binaries.
The only difference is the contents of the httpd.conf file. |

@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. |

@RolfBos - Using similar logic to that used for ip2location, we've been able to compile up the ip2proxy library and module files, as confirmed by Steffen's post with download links above.
Using the database files you've listed in your configuration (downloaded from https://www.ip2location.com/file-download), a test instance of Apache loads and runs, but as before I'm unable to test the GEO functionality for real.
@Stray78 - are you now able to add a suitable ip2proxy section to your Apache configuration?
What I did notice is that the order of the configuration settings is important. You need to enable the module before listing the required database file, viz:
| Code: | LoadModule IP2Location_module modules/mod_ip2location.so
LoadModule IP2Proxy_module modules/mod_ip2proxy.so
<IfModule mod_ip2location.c>
IP2LocationEnable ON
IP2LocationDetectProxy ON
IP2LocationSetmode ALL
IP2LocationDBFile "${SRVROOT}/conf/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB11.BIN"
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_ip2proxy.c>
IP2ProxyEnable ON
IP2ProxyDetectProxy ON
IP2ProxySetmode ALL
IP2ProxyDBFile "${SRVROOT}/conf/IP2PROXY-LITE-PX12.BIN"
</IfModule>
|
This is because the source code only opens the database file if the module is enabled, i.e.
| Code: | if(!config)
return NULL;
config->dbFile = apr_pstrdup(cmd->pool, dbFile);
if(config->enabled) {
config->ip2proxyObj = IP2Proxy_open(config->dbFile);
if(!config->ip2proxyObj)
return "Error opening dbFile!";
IP2Proxy_set_lookup_mode(config->ip2proxyObj, IP2PROXY_CACHE_MEMORY);
}
|
This caveat applies to both ip2location and ip2proxy.
I also note in your posted configuration above for ip2location lists two database files, and believe only the latter entry will be used.
Finally, although ip2location and ip2proxy include command line utilities to query the relevant database files, the code is POSIX based since it uses the getline() function, and as such won't compile under Windows. However, by adding a getline() function based on fgets(), these utilities seem to work ok, viz:
| Code: | C:\Apache24\bin>ip2location.exe -d C:\Apache24\conf\IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB11.BIN --ip 8.8.8.8
"ip","country_code","country_name","region_name","city_name","isp","latitude","longitude","domain","zip_code","time_zone","net_speed","idd_code", "area_code","weather_station_code","weather_station_name","mcc","mnc","mobile_brand","elevation","usage_type","address_type","category", "district","as_number","as_name","as_domain","as_usage_type","as_cidr"
