Issues installing and setting up server.

[harshjari]

Hi,
Thanks for the awesome freegeoip. I am attempting to run a server of my own so that I won't have to affect your servers.
I have never used go before so please bear with my lack of knowledge.
The process I used is:
install go: sudo apt-get install golang
install other reqs: sudo apt-get install build-essential libsqlite3-dev pkg-config
get your git code: sudo go get github.com/fiorix/freegeoip
attempting to build:
cd /usr/lib/go/src/pkg/github.com/fiorix/freegeoip
and then: go build

First I ran into:
/usr/lib/go/src/pkg/github.com/fiorix/go-redis/redis/redis.go:265: function ends without a return statement

After fixing the above by moving the return from the else outside the else statement, I get the following issue(while attempting go run):

/usr/lib/go/src/pkg/github.com/fiorix/freegeoip/freegeoip.go:273: enc.Indent undefined (type *xml.Encoder has no field or method Indent)

I hope you can help me fix the issue.
Thanks!

Ubuntu's golang package is very old and no longer supported. Just download the latest binary tarball from golang.org and unpack in /opt/go and set GOROOT=/opt/go and add $GOROOT/bin to the path. Then go build should work fine.

Thanks for the quick reply. I attempted your suggestion but it still fails:
export GOROOT=/opt/go
export GOPATH=/usr/lib/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

sudo go get github.com/fiorix/freegeoip - this finishes but i get a lot of these errors:
imports database/sql: unrecognized import path "database/sql"
imports encoding/binary: unrecognized import path "encoding/binary"
and so on.

But if i push ahead and try: go build
I get:
quota.go:13:2: cannot find package "github.com/fiorix/go-redis/redis" in any of:
/opt/go/src/pkg/github.com/fiorix/go-redis/redis (from $GOROOT)
/usr/lib/go/src/github.com/fiorix/go-redis/redis (from $GOPATH)
freegeoip.go:29:2: cannot find package "github.com/fiorix/go-web/httpxtra" in any of:
/opt/go/src/pkg/github.com/fiorix/go-web/httpxtra (from $GOROOT)
/usr/lib/go/src/github.com/fiorix/go-web/httpxtra (from $GOPATH)
freegeoip.go:31:2: cannot find package "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3" in any of:
/opt/go/src/pkg/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 (from $GOROOT)
/usr/lib/go/src/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 (from $GOPATH)

Thanks!

I think i've narrowed it down but I don't know how to fix it the right way. it tries to find "github.com/fiorix/go-redis/redis" in "/usr/lib/go/src/"
BUT it should be trying it in --------- "/usr/lib/go/src/PKG/"
How do you recommend I fix this issue?
Also any suggestions about how to fix the unrecognized import paths?
Thanks

Just do go get without sudo and it'll work. Then go build.

unfortunately i get
mkdir /usr/lib/go: permission denied

Edit: I changed the go path to the home directory /go and then it works (as expected since my user doesnt have access to /usr/lib/)

only error i get is:
github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
/opt/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/6c: unknown flag -FVw

I am on ubuntu 12.04 and Im using: http://code.google.com/p/go/downloads/detail?name=go1.2.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz&can=2&q=

Edit2:
So it seems I didnt clear out all the other go packages when i did aptget remove golang.
I just removed them and retried running it.
It built successfully. Sorry for the confusion and thanks a lot for your help. Im gonna try and run it and if it works, i'll close this issue.

[harshjari]

It runs successfully. Thanks a lot.
I have one last question that I'd be very happy if you could answer:
Does the server have the same 10000 query api usage quota that the freegeoip website does? If so,
how would I disable it?
Thanks, again!

Edit: freegeoip.conf is the answer to my question.
Thanks!

[fiorix]

Yeah, you got it. :)
