I think the problem may be due to loss of privileges in PHP, on the command line I run the same command: /usr/bin/nik2img.py /var/lib/mod_tile/osm.xml --srs 900913 -d 512 512 --pipe --bbox 112 -45 154 -10 > /tmp/test.png Works when run as root, doesn't when apache drops privileges and I figured this out now when I tried to run the same command that as the same user apache runs as. I think I'll need to write a simple daemon and then pipe to it over a local socket, if someone hasn't written one already that is. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

John, Can you explain more what you doing via PHP? An error like 'XML document not well formed' is coming out of Mapnik proper not Nik2img.

After that happens they appear on the live site whenever TomH does another sync. which is usually every 1-2 days or so. However the Translatewiki sync last happened last Saturday. I don't know why there hasn't been another update more recently.

Re: [OSM-dev] Mapnik rendering: Zoom-Level to Width/Height
Hi Peter, This document: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/zoom-to-scale.txt shows the relationship of zoom level to scale denominator. This blog post: http://www.britishideas.com/2009/09/22/map-scales-and-printing-with-mapnik/ shows how to get from bounding box to scale denominator and vice versa.

[OSM-dev] Distributing a VirtualBox HD-File
Hi I'm nearly done putting together my Rendering Stack. It makes the complete chain from the osm (x)api to the final map accessible via very easy commands: osm-load --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 osm-render --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 without loosing too much possibilities: osm-load --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --custom-api \ http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=%s osm-load --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --file germany.osm.bz2 osm-render --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --type pdf \ --file mainz --size 8192x4096 osm-render --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --type png \ --size 16384x8192 --style styles/thinline.xml Atm I'm still writing the documentation, usage guides for windows and linux (mac could/will maybe be added later) so that this set of tools will hopefully be usable by not-technicians, e.g. by designers that wish to make maps for printing. The complete system, from a mapnik svn build via postgresql to the osm-mpnik-stylesheet is packed into a VirtualBox Harddisk image of ~3.2 GB. Maybe this could be reduced but I don't think it will get below 3 GB. So now I'm unsure how to distribute it. For the first run I'm going to make a Torrent from it and distribute it via my local 6 MBit DSL line, but this is not the best solution for not-technicians. A HTTP or FTP Download-Link would be better. Any one any idea? Peter ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
[OSM-dev] Mapnik rendering: Zoom-Level to Width/Height
Hello I'm writing on a simple Frontend for the mapnik-toolchain. Currently you can call it like this: osm-render --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --size 8192x4096 I'd like to add another option like this: osm-render --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --zoom 14 The combination of bbox-size (in lat/lon or maybe kilometers?) and output-size (in pixels) somehow leads to the ScaleDenominator used in the mapnik style, so i think it could be calculated to a zoomlevel and vice versa. Does anyone has a formular for that (especially bbox & zoom --> width & height) or is this just not possible? Thank you, Peter ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
