[mapserver-users] WMS For Open Street Maps for MapServer?

[Bill Thoen]

Can anyone tell me if there is a WMS server out there (that's working) 
that serves Open Street Maps data? I've searched and found some old 
sites that don't seem to be working now, and I found some information 
that talks about a MapServer solution that involves downloading several 
"helper" files and running things through PostGIS, but is it that 
complicated? Isn't there just a simple WMS server out there I could use 
to load US streets into a MapServer map or is this not the best way to 
go about it?

I also tried http://services.giub.uni-bonn.de/wms?, with no luck. I 
couldn't even get capabilities from it.

Here's one of the ones I tried. I'll post the code so if anyone sees a 
problem with it, please let me know? That would be helpful. But as it 
is, this server also doesn't appear to be working. Both of these were 
mentioned in search googlits, but there's not  a heck of a lot out there 
about this.
