[Tilecache] seed questions

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi list,

two questions:

1) we have a cluser of 4 servers which run the Web Map Services, what is the
easiest way for the TileCache seed script to make use of this power so we
can get the seeding done faster?

2) when seeding 1 zoomlevel we got the following error after 75% of the
tiles was retrieved (the script ran for 12 hours approximately and then
stopped):

04 (000074, 000121) = (215216.6921 733665.1317 218800.7015 737249.1410)
[3.5320s : 0.277/s] 11933/15778
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../tilecache_seed.py", line 9, in ?

    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 376, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 337, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 1021, in http_open
    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 994, in do_open
    r = h.getresponse()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 862, in getresponse
    response.begin()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 333, in begin
    version, status, reason = self._read_status()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 297, in _read_status
    raise BadStatusLine(line)
httplib.BadStatusLine

Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bart
