[Tilecache] How to rename tilecache.cfg and tilecache.cgi

[Frédéric Junod]

Hi,

tilecache searches for files named tilecache.cfg in the current directory, in
the parent directory and in /etc (in that order). The current directory is
relative to tilecache.cgi.

So no, you can't rename the config file.

But you can save some space by using the [DEFAULT] section: for example, if all
you layers have the same src, bbox and extension, you can do something like:
-------------
[cache]
type=Disk
base=/path/to/cache/

[DEFAULT]
srs=EPSG:21781
bbox=1,2,3,4
extension=jpeg

[a]
type=...

[b]
extension=png

[c]
--------------

layers a, b and c src, bbox and extension will "inherit" from DEFAULT. Except
for b extension.

Works for all the properties, this is a standard python feature, see:
http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html
