[mapserver-users] Mapcache instruction

[lars.schylberg at blixtmail.se]

I also ran into the problem of running out of i-nodes last year.

Here is the configuration I have with a sqlite cache:

 <cache name="Nordic_sqlite" type="sqlite3">
 <dbfile>/data/mapcache/{grid}/{tileset}/{z}/{x}-{y}.sqlite3</dbfile>
 <xcount>10000</xcount>
 <ycount>10000</ycount>
 <pragma name="max_page_count">1573741823</pragma>
 </cache>

I guess the pragma thing is described in the documentation.
xcount and ycount describes how much You want to store in each sqlite db file before it creates a new db file.
mapcache is creating the db files automatically. So seeding a large area You end up with many sqlite db files that all work together.

This has worked really good for our use case.

Here a short tuto from my personal notes: 
1. create a cache entry in your mapcache file 
	 <cache name="mbtiles" type="sqlite3"> <dbfile>/var/www/osm_google.db</dbfile> </cache>  
2. create a empty sqlite file 
- run sqlite3 
- run this commande inside sqlite3: ".save filename.db" (without ") 
3. use this cache in your settings 
You don't need MySQL or PostgreSQL, only sqlite3 and its dependencies. Path used in my example for cache block are for Unix like system, you should adapt it for Windows : c:/....

	Hi all, 

	We have a MapCache setup with “disk_cache” but we are running out of Inodes when I try to seed the whole UK with projection 27700. 

	I was thinking to propose to my supervisor to use the “SQLite Caches” but I don’t know how it works. Can someone guide me through the process of setup MapCache with this type of cache? And if I need some dependency, we use PostgreSQL in our server so I assume I need to install also MySQL. 

	I’ve already read the documentation but still I have doubt about the db part, how to create the db and locate it. I never use SQLite, just PostgreSQL. 

	Regards; 

	Sebastiano. _______________________________________________
