Yes, downloading the proj nad files and setting PROJ_LIB env setting is the way to solve that error, so all I can say is to double check your ENV settings.

A workaround is to switch from using the epsg lookup syntax to +proj literal string in your stylesheet (and perhaps also in the generate_tiles.py code). This way you bypass the need for proj4 to lookup values in the epsg file.

Hi Dane,

Thank you very much for your help on this! As you suggested, we ran shapeindex with single thread script (generate_tiles.py) but we got the following error messages:

proj_init_error:failed to initialize projection with:+init=epsg:4326
World : 16 58199 25813   Empty Tile
propjr_oijnit_e_rirnoirt:_fearirolre:df atio iled to initniitailaliizze e projec

The above error might occurred since proj epsg file cannot be found so we downloaded win32 binary from proj.4 and set the PATH and PROJ_LIB. However, we are still getting same error message. The version of proj.4 is 4.4.6. At this point, we are not sure how to resolve this. If you have previous experience, please kindly let us know.

Regards,

Hi Jin,

Does the generate_tiles.py script visibly stop at some point? Is there any error visible in the terminal?

My guess is that you running into a known windows+mapnik+postgtres problem. Basically that mapnik looses a proper database connection during tile generation a high zoom levels because rendering is fast and there is a higher likelyhood of postgres connections being clobbered. This has been known to happen on windows when using generate_tiles with threads >= 1 (http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/581#comment:6 ). I see below that you are testing using the multiprocess script, but I would not be surprised if it is the same problem manifesting. Can you try with either 1 thread or 1 process?

To narrow this down it would be good to know if you can render *any* tile at >= z16. One easy way to check with would be to install TileLite (http://bitbucket.org/springmeyer/tilelite/), then launch a server on localhost:8000 and try to view a z18 tile, like http://tile.openstreetmap.org/18/232909/103242.png at http://localhost:8000/18/232909/103242.png.

One last thing to do is rebuilt your shape indexes:

# on windows
cd world_boundaries
shapeindex processed_p
shapeindex shoreline_300
shapeindex 10m-populated-places
shapeindex 110m-admin-0-boundary-lines

Hi everyone,

My engineer is trying to do rendering up to level 16 but we kind of stuck right now. We are pretty new in this application so if any of you could help us on this, it would be great help to us. Please refer to below for more detail info.

--- --- ------------------------------------------------------------------- We would like to do rendering OSM up to zoom level 16 using mapnik. Right now, we are just focusing on Japanese map only which you can find at http://www.openstreetmap.jp/.

We also referred to following link but didn't get the expected result so far.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Mapnik

The problem is that we can only render up to zoom level 10, not 16 and at zoom level 11, we basically cannot see anything. Even at zoom level 10, we cannot see any data such as street name, country name or anything.

Regarding OSM, we imported from following link.
http://downloads.cloudmade.com/asia/japan#downloads_breadcrumbs
*japan.osm.bz2
*japan.osm.coastline.bz2
*japan.osm.highway.bz2

We followed following steps:
1. Install PostgreSQL8.4.5/PostGIS1.5, Python2.6.6, mapnik0.7.1

2. Create database
$ createdb -U postgres -E UTF8 -O mapnik gis

3. Run sql
$ psql -U postgres -d gis -f "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\share\contrib\postgis-1.5\postgis.sql"
$ psql -U postgres -d gis -f "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\share\contrib\postgis-1.5\spatial_ref_sys.sql"
$ psql -U postgres -d gis -f "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\share\contrib\_int.sql"
$ psql -U postgres -d gis -f "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\share\contrib\hstore.sql"

4. Run osm2pgsql
$ osm2pgsql -c -s -d gis -U postgres -S default.style japan.osm.bz2
$ osm2pgsql -c -s -d gis -U postgres -S default.style japan.osm.highway.bz2
$ osm2pgsql -c -s -d gis -U postgres -S default.style
japan.osm.coastline.bz2
$ osm2pgsql -c -s -d gis -U postgres -S default.style
japan.osm.administrative.bz2

5. world_boundaries(in mac)
$ tar xzf world_boundaries-spherical.tgz
$ tar xjf processed_p.tar.bz2 -C world_boundaries
$ tar xjf shoreline_300.tar.bz2 -C world_boundaries
$ unzip 10m-populated-places.zip -d world_boundaries
$ unzip 110m-admin-0-boundary-lines.zip -d world_boundaries

6. Check out mapnik repository
URL: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik

7. Create mapnik setup file
$ generate_xml.py osm.xml out.xml --host localhost --user postgres
--dbname gis --symbols ./symbols/ --world_boundaries ./ world_boundaries/
--port 5432 --password ''

8. Using generate_tiles_multiprocess.py, do rendering
$ set HOME=C:\mapnik-0.7.1\svn\
$ set MAPNIK_MAP_FILE=C:\mapnik-0.7.1\svn\out.xml
$ set MAPNIK_TILE_DIR=C:\mapnik-0.7.1\svn\tiles\
$ generate_tiles_multiprocess.py

The portion we changed to for Japanese map
# zoom level=16- describe Japan
bbox = (112.5,22.0,157.5,55.7)
render_tiles(bbox, mapfile, tile_dir, 16, 16 , "Japan")
# zoom level=10- describe Japan
bbox = (112.5,22.0,157.5,55.7)
render_tiles(bbox, mapfile, tile_dir, 10, 10 , "Japan")

Hardware spec:
PC Spec
CPU:Core2 6700 2.66G
RAM:3G
Hard Disk:256G
OS:Windows XP SP3
