[Tilecache] tilecache in iis 5 and iis 6, and successfull seeding on windows IIS

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi List,

I've been able to install a running tilecache (1.7 from svn) on a 
development machine running XP (aka iis 5). But after deploying it to a 
WindowsServer2003 (aka iis6) tilecache wasn't running anymore, but 
returning "wrong header errors"
After some fiddling it appeared that my debug disabling in Layer.py was 
wrong and thereby Service.py was trying to write some extra info to std-err:

else:
   if layer.debug:
     sys.stderr.write(
                 "Cache hit: %s, Tile: x: %s, y: %s, z: %s, time: %s, 
debug: %s\n" % (
                     tile.bbox(), tile.x, tile.y, tile.z, (time.time() - 
start), layer.debug) )

Apparently that was not a problem for iis5, but iis6 has problems with that?

Another rather stupid error I've made when failing to seed the IIS 
/windows box was trying to use the mapserver-url in the argumentlist of 
tilecache_seed.py instead of the tilecache.cgi/py script :-0
(in the logs you see that the mapserver is being called, but there are 
no images saved/written....)

Seeding is working now!

Hope this is helpfull for somebody
