Looks like if you don't have whois on the machine, stuff errors out:

Error contacting the service: /ipb.php?op=ipwhois&ip=ip.ad.dr.es : error

Hi,
this error is strange and should not be related to the whois on the machine as this PHP function use a raw socket call to the whois server.
You can try to call the url directly in the browser http://127.0.0.1/ipb.php?op=ipwhois&ip=....write_the_ip_to_check_here... and see if you get an error.
Let me know,
Damiano

I do have port 47 closed. So probably something like try/catch would be nice to have.

damianofalcioni commented

actually is it strange as is already inside a try/catch that should handle this. I have to investigate more on this

maybe fixed here: bbc784e
could you please retry?

ToeiRei commented

Sorry for the late reply: but yes, that did the trick!
