Introduction

ip2country-erlang imports iptocountry database into mnesia and then performs lookups on it. It's meant to be used as a library. A small test wrapper is available that performs some benchmarking.

Get Started

• Checkout the latest code by doing svn checkout http://ip2country-erlang.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ip2country-erlang
• Get the IpToCountry.csv.gz file available here and gunzip it to the same location as the project files overwriting the IpToCountry.csv file in the repository. The default file is just a truncated placeholder.
• Start an erlang shell and do c(ip2country). and ip2country:init().
• Execute ./ip2country_test.erl giving an IP address as parameter and everything should start working!
• To use in your scripts, make sure the beam files are in path and then do ip2country:reset_mnesia_database() and ip2country:lookup("valid.ip.add.ress"). That's it!
