Here is an example of reprojecting long/lat coords into spherical mercator: http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/example_code/google_mercator_projection/world_mercator.py You can also just render the werder.xml with nik2img.py which will automatically zoom to the extents of your data (if set correctly, see below). > > b) werder.xml: > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > <!DOCTYPE Map> > <Map bgcolor="#ffffff" srs="+proj=merc +lon_0=0 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 > +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs"> > [...snip...] > > <Layer name="strassen" status="on" srs="+proj=merc +lon_0=0 +k=1 +x_0=0 > +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs"> > <StyleName>strassen</StyleName> > <Datasource> > <Parameter name="type">postgis</Parameter> > <Parameter name="password">my-very-secret-pw</Parameter> > <Parameter name="host">localhost</Parameter> > <Parameter name="port">5432</Parameter> > <Parameter name="user">postgres</Parameter> > <Parameter name="dbname">gis</Parameter> > <Parameter name="table">planet_osm_line</Parameter> > <Parameter name="estimate_extent">false</Parameter> > <Parameter name="extent">12.6247,52.2599,13.3848,52.5194</Parameter> > </Datasource> > </Layer> > </Map> > Your layer is going to be in spherical mercator () as it was imported with the -m flag of osm2pgsql, so that means your extent value must also be in spherical mercator coordinates (not long/lat). An easy solution here is to let PostGIS calculate the layer's extents automatically (just remove the 'extent parameter' to trigger this). > After execution I get no error message and the PNG-file I waited for.
