hello i'm new to this list and to mapnik. So far the documentation was very helpful, but now i'm kind of stuck...
i'm trying to get mapnik 0.7.1 working working on an ubuntu 10.04 (32bit) system. with osm2pgsql i imported planet-benelux into the database but when I render with mapnik i get only coastlines and lot of empty folders, which is behaviour described in the 'trouble shooting' section of this page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik#Troubleshooting however the page doesn't explain how to check/troubleshoot that exactly. compiling 0.7.1 went without obvious errors (i'm no expert in this, but it seems to work). PostGIS was installed on my system, but I don't know if i built mapnik with or without PostGIS support. I followed (copy pasted) these instructions: http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/UbuntuInstallation Connecting to the postgresql database works I guess: -------------------- $ psql gis toyfoo psql (8.4.4) Type "help" for help. gis=> \d List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner --------+--------------------+-------+-------- public | geometry_columns | table | toyfoo public | planet_osm_line | table | toyfoo public | planet_osm_nodes | table | toyfoo public | planet_osm_point | table | toyfoo public | planet_osm_polygon | table | toyfoo public | planet_osm_rels | table | toyfoo public | planet_osm_roads | table | toyfoo public | planet_osm_ways | table | toyfoo public | spatial_ref_sys | table | toyfoo (9 rows) ----------------------- this is what i get when running mapnik: ---------------------- toy...@toyfoo-laptop:~/mapnik2$ ./generate_xml.py --dbname gis --accept-none Include files written successfully! Pass the osm.xml file as an argument if you want to serialize a new version or test reading the XML toy...@toyfoo-laptop:~/mapnik2$ MAPNIK_MAP_FILE="osm.xml" MAPNIK_TILE_DIR="tileshasselt/" ./generate_tiles.py render_tiles( (5.2370999999999999, 50.987499999999997, 50.866900000000001, 5.4808000000000003) osm.xml tileshasselt/ 1 12 Hasselt ) Hasselt : 2 2 1 Hasselt : 1 1 0 ----------------------- which gives me only empty folders. (tried generate_xml.py with added username (toyfoo) and password as well. I remember having a RuntimeError: PSQL error: ERROR: column "shop" does not exist But i got rid of it by removing the amenities layer in one of the inc files. It might mean something though... Do you have an idea what I could try? many thanks Thomas _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
