IP2Loc

This is the demo web application for IP2Location Contest.

It shows visits history with location, based on IP2Location™ LITE IP-COUNTRY free database and Silgy as a web application framework.

Live instance

It's live here: silgy.org:2020

Installation (UNIX/Linux)

The demo is running on AWS EC2 Linux t2.micro instance (Amazon Linux AMI release 2018.03).

1. Install C++ compiler and MySQL:

sudo yum install -y gcc-c++
sudo yum install -y mysql-server mysql

Optionally:

sudo yum install -y mysql-devel

2. Download or clone this repository

3. Create a database ip2loc and create two tables:

• ip2location_db3 (as per IP2Location cheat sheet)
• visits:

create table visits
(
    id int auto_increment primary key,
    ip char(60),
    country_code CHAR(2),
    region_name VARCHAR(128),
    city_name VARCHAR(128),
    method char(15),
    uri varchar(250),
    referer varchar(250),
    uagent varchar(250),
    lang char(5),
    ua_type char(1),
    bot char(1),
    ad char(1),
    session_id int,
    status smallint,
    processing float,
    created datetime
);

The database name and credentials (along with the listening port number) are in bin/silgy.conf.

4. Make src/m executable:

cd src
chmod u+x m

5. Compile

cd src
./m

(You may need to verify MySQL include and library paths in m, depending on your configuration)

6. Prepare bin/silgystart and bin/silgystop

• Verify $SILGYDIR is correct (the existing code assumes it's /home/ec2-user/ip2loc)
• Make them executable:

chmod u+x silgystart
chmod u+x silgystop

7. Run

cd bin
./silgystart

Don't forget to add an inbound security rule to allow traffic to your port.

Troubleshooting

logs directory should contain something useful. Anyway I'll be happy to help at silgy.help@gmail.com.
