Fast Track Deployment of Customised OSM Tile Server

meramap's Issues

Newmap: Lack of messages echoed to console

The postinst script sends so much of its output to logfiles that it can appear to hang while running. Adding some messages to give the user confidence that it is still working would be useful.

Newmap: Apache installed using apt-get

Apache is installed using apt-get, rather than specifying it as a dependency in the debian package. This means that the newmap version of postinst will not work within a debian package.

Log files are populated on clean install

Installation of meramap.deb installs log files in newmap/logfiles directory. This directory should be empty on a clean install or the user could be confused when trying to debug problems.

Newmap: osm2pgsql.sh fails

osm2pgsql fails when postinst run as root (as it will in a debian package), because root is not a postgresql user. Need to specify the postgresql username on the command line to fix this.
Just adding a -U parameter does not seem to work - might need to set and use a password too?

Remote JS-Files

Hi,

the index.html from var/www/map/ uses remote JS-Files (like http://www.openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js).

I use my own OSM-Server to be independent from others.

In my opinion we should place a daily cronjob on the server, which updates the local js-files.

If you agree, I will implement/commit this.

Cheers,
Timo

Newmap: postinst does not report success/failure correctly

Reports successful installation even when it fails - we should monitor the return codes for the commands to see if they were successful or not and report success/failure correctly.

Newmap: Database configuration fails

When postinst is executed as root (as it will when incorporated into debian package, the postgresql configuration fails.
Postinst needs modifying to execute postgresql configuration as user postgres (postgresql super user).
Also needs write permission on logfiles directory for postgres user, otherwise it will fail.

Newmap: mapnik style file osm.xml not found

Extract from meramap.log

Setting up database and user...
Done!

Localhost in JS-Scripts

Hi,

I would wish me a script, which replaces localhost with an entered name in the install progress. For example
index.html: newLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM("New Layer","http://localhost/OSMAP/${z}/${x}/${y}.png"
(at the moment you are not able to view the map from remote, because the remote server have not the OSM installed).

In this step I would implement an apache-config with a vhost with the entered name for /var/www/map, too.

If you agree, I will implement this and commit it.

Kind regards,
Timo

Apache dependency specified incorrectly

The apache dependency is addressed in postinst by using 'apt-get install'. This will not work when incorporated into a debian package, so it needs modifying to use a debian dependency instead (like the rest of the dependencies).
