Hi Daniel, Thank you for your response, I guess my osm.xml file may be a concern.
I have checked out the source pretty recently and run generate_xml: svn export http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik cd mapnik ./generate_xml.py --host localhost --port 5432 --user 'apache' --dbname gis --symbols ./symbols/ --world_boundaries ./world_boundaries/ --password '***' --prefix='nz' the result message is: 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 But the file osm.xml is not updated and dosn't work with generate_tiles.py... Then I followed the install.txt in manik/archive: cd archive/ vi set-mapnik-env source set-mapnik-env ./customize-mapnik-map >$MAPNIK_MAP_FILE cd .. The resulting osm.xml file works fine with generate_tiles.py, and it has one admin layer and one place_names layer: <Layer name="admin" status="on" srs="+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +no_defs +over"> <StyleName>admin</StyleName> <Datasource> <Parameter name="type">postgis</Parameter> <Parameter name="user">apache</Parameter> <Parameter name="password">***</Parameter> <Parameter name="dbname">gis</Parameter> <Parameter name="table"> (select way,admin_level from nz_roads where "boundary"='administrative') as admin</Parameter> <Parameter name="estimate_extent">false</Parameter> <Parameter name="extent">-20037508,-19929239,20037508,19929239</Parameter> </Datasource> </Layer> <Layer name="placenames" status="on" srs="+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +no_defs +over"> <StyleName>country</StyleName> <StyleName>state</StyleName> <StyleName>capital</StyleName> <StyleName>city</StyleName> <StyleName>town</StyleName> <StyleName>suburb</StyleName> <StyleName>village</StyleName> <StyleName>hamlet</StyleName> <Datasource> <Parameter name="type">postgis</Parameter> <Parameter name="user">apache</Parameter> <Parameter name="password">***</Parameter> <Parameter name="dbname">gis</Parameter> <Parameter name="table">(select way,place,capital,name,ref from nz_point where place is not null) as placenames</Parameter> <Parameter name="estimate_extent">false</Parameter> <Parameter name="extent">-20037508,-19929239,20037508,19929239</Parameter> </Datasource> </Layer> Have I followed the correct steps? Another reason I could imagine is I have only a partial osm data in my PostGIS database. Thanks again for your help!
