Wow. 5 steps to setup tileserver in Ubuntu. I took me last Saturday and Sunday just to setup PostGIS and move OSM data (Australia.osm.pdf) using osm2pgsql and still have problem rendering it to TileMill in Mac OS X.
Postgresql and PostGIS are not so good in Mac OS X at the moment, problem in finding the postgresql database data. If you want a different theme you can use this osm-hybrid-carto for TileMill. https://github.com/andrewharvey/osm-hybrid-carto OSM-Ph can probably sell services to local governments (towns and barangays) in creating custom maps (digital and hardcopy). It is good fund raising. Noli On 10/10/11, Eugene Alvin Villar <sea...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi guys, > > This sounds interesting.
