[OpenLayers-Users] Use of MBTIles with openlayers

[Robert Buckley]

Thanks for the reply,

So TileStache can serve and render the MBTiles to use with openlayers? Would you know if there are possibilities for exporting mapcontent from the openlayers mappanel?


This is one of the reasons i´m looking in this directory as I can´t do pdf exports with geowebcache served from geoserver.

Thanks,

Rob

You need server-side software to open the MBTiles file and fetch the tiles. TileStache and TileStream are two popular servers for doing this.

TileStache is Python and I found it fairly easy to set up. It runs under Apache as CGI, mod_python, or WSGI. If you have an existing web server and web content, this is probably the easiest way to go.

TileStream is written in Node JS and takes a bit more setup. It does not run under Apache, but is its own server with its own service port and it has some behaviors regarding the hostname of incoming requests -- running it on port 80 with your other web content is not simple.
