Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] tile server for custom tiles always needed? 

Hello, 

I'm a beginner and I want to build a map mit openlayers based on my own 

custom tiles I rendered with Mapnik. Do I have to set up a tile server 

for this or is it possible to just give openlayers the path to the tile 

directory? 

On http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenLayers_Simple_Example is 

a short description which says that this can be done with a single line 

(and some minor modifications): 

var newLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM("New Layer", "path_to_tiles/", 

{numZoomLevels: 19}); 

Unfortunately this doesnt work here and I could not find any other 

reference. If this is possible, what would I have to do? 

Regards 

Jens
