Dear list, I have a server offering OSM tiled layer based on the instructions here <http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/building-a-tile-server-from-packages/>.
I have a openlayers using this OSM base layer and other overlay layers but I would like to make them printable as an image or PDF. After trying with client-side alternatives and failing one after another, I am trying now based on a server-side and MapServer based approach, the one I am more used to. So, I have already configured the overlays layers in my map file and I need to include the OSM tiled layer I have directly from mod_tile data. The issue is that I can't find a way to do it. I am not familiar with mapnik, that is why I am trying with mapserv which I installed on the server. Also I would like to use mapserver to use the PDF, KML and multiple image formats supported. I have always used mapserver, but I inherit this OSM configuration and I found problems migrating or addapting it. I have checked mapserver documentation, but following the instructions in Rendering OSM Data <http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmDataUbuntu> it fails when trying to compile mapserver-utils due to not being able to connect www.naturalearthdata.com. However, here <http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmData> it says no osm2pgsql estructure is supported anymore. So I am affraid I will need to load data again to be able to serve OSM layer from MapServer. Does anyone know if it is possible to connect to this mod_tile tiles from a mapserver mapfile? If no, does anyone know why mapserver-utils are failing and if there is another tutorial for configuring OSM own server with MapServer? Regards, Juan Manuel Moreno Rivera.
