[Tilecache] TileCache installation

[Nico Bolender]

Hello,

i think i need some help to install and configure Tilecache.

I downloaded the source from tilecache.org and followed the installation instructions [1] to run TileCache under mod_python. But I don't get it to work.

I downloaded and extract the packeg under /var/www/tilecache. After extraction I have a folder tilecache-2.10.

Now I did this:

$ sudo easy_install TileCache
...
Installed
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TileCache-2.10-py2.5.egg

$ sudo tilecache_install_config.py
Successfully copied file
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/TileCache-2.10-py2.5.egg/TileCache/tilecache.cfg
to /etc/tilecache.cfg.

and put in my virtual server this directive:

ScriptAlias /tiles/ "/var/www/tilecache/tilecache-2.10/"
<Directory /var/www/tilecache/tilecache-2.10/>
   AddHandler python-program .py
   PythonHandler TileCache.Service
   PythonOption TileCacheConfig /etc/tilecache.cfg
</Directory>

When I'm visit my page on: 
http://192.168.0.20/tiles/tilecache.py?LAYERS=ALayer,BLayer&TRANSPARENT=true&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SRS=EPSG%3A900913&BBOX=841414.285,6476962.285,860982.16,6496530.16&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

I get an Internal Server Error, but no error is reported in the apache2/error.log.

And what I don’t understand is this sentence: "Visit one of the URLs described above, replacing tilecache.cgi with tilecache.py" 
I have nowhere on my computer a file called "tilecache.py"

So .. what I'm doing wrong?


Kind regards
Nico

Hi,

You must use tilecache version 2.10 or above. See http://tilecache.org/
