Skyler ... have been following your efforts and totally understand the frustration ;) I HAD all of this working on an earlier build of SUSE having jumped through all the hoops, and I thought carefully documenting every step. Many of the problems are not so much with OSM but with the way every distribution adds it's own complexity to running essentially the same tools. Currently my own attempts at restoring the service have cost a lot of unpaid time ... service apache2 reload systemctl restart apache2 or what ever esentially running /etc/init.d/apache2 restart or what ever is replacing the init.d service Even running LTS servers in order to keep things working is not always the safest way of doing things as a recent exercise in porting a PHP application has proven. The PHP5.2 builds are running stable in production, but moving several years of data over to the 5.4 version takes time, and once converted, can no long be used on the 5.2 build. But while both are still available on LTS servers, both are end of life, and moving them to 5.6 introduces another incompatible build, and PHP7 messes things further. Python has much the same problem with Python2 and 3 needing incompatible versions of code, and while many projects stick with P2, pressure to upgrade resulted in a number of broken P2 projects over Christmas. Then add in all the other languages used to produce a working OSM setup! MANY of the tools listed on the switch2osm site are no longer actively supported by their originators, so we do need an overhaul of the whole process, but a reliable base framework does not exist and the diversity between linux distributions is making that more and more difficult. Personally Ubuntu is not practical for me as all my production servers are SUSE based, and when I have tried alternatives the subtle command line differences such as restarting apache catch you out at critical times :( And apache is perhaps not the best choice for production web servers anyway ... I HAD a working system which I was hoping to make live to produce a UK style service, but currently only the OSRM layer is working fully. I'm at the pink square stage on the tile server ... and need to pay the bills so don't have time to 'start again' with a new framework. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
