Hi, after 4 or 5 days of importing planet.osm I have found out, that the Readme.txt providing the necessary steps for building your own geocoding service may be incomplete (http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/export/osm2pgsql/gazetteer/README.txt) Watching the logfiles of postgres I have found the following errors:
FATAL: role "gis" does not exist FATAL: database "gazetteerworld" does not exist Both are repeated several times between other log lines. The Readme doesn't creates a user "gis" for gazetteer, nor does it mention the creation of the database gazetteerworld. Am I missing some important part and have to restart the import? Actually the postmaster is still working, while osm2pgsql is in idle. Will there be a message when it is ready or am I finished when I see the text below?
