OpenStreetBrowser/Install

This howto should show how to install the new version (branch category) of OpenStreetBrowser. The older format is discouraged, as the newer version has a more flexible design.

We start with a clean Ubuntu installation. It was originally written for a 9.10 installation, some names of the to-installed-software might have changed, e.g. you might want to install postgresql-8.4 now.

System Software

(This instructions are for an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installation:

sudo apt-get install apache2 vim php5-cli libapache2-mod-php5 php5-pgsql build-essential libxml2-dev libgeos-dev libbz2-dev proj libbz2-dev sun-java6-jre imagemagick python-cssutils imagemagick curl libltdl7-dev proj python-cairo libcairomm-1.0-dev libtiff4-dev mmv apache2-threaded-dev autoconf libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev python-dev libboost-python1.40.0 unzip libboost-python1.40-dev

See this for installation instructions for PostgreSQL 9.0 with PostGIS 1.5.

In this howto I assume you use the user 'osm' for installation, with the home directory /home/osm .

mkdir software

OSB

git clone git://gitorious.org/openstreetbrowser/openstreetbrowser.git openstreetbrowser
cd openstreetbrowser

Mapnik

PostGIS

File /etc/postgresql/8.3/main/postgresql.conf:

shared_buffers = 16MB # 128MB does not work!
checkpoint_segments = 20
maintenance_work_mem = 256MB

Commands:

su - postgres
createuser osm
createuser -P PASSWD www
createdb -E UTF8 -O osm osm

osm2pgsql

We don't use osm2pgsql any more

Cascadenik

You don't need to install Cascadenik, but there will be a plugin using Cascadenik, so it won't hurt.

cd software
svn checkout http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ mapnik-utils-read-only  
cd mapnik-utils-read-only/serverside/cascadenik
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
mv setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg setuptools-0.6c7-py2.6.egg
sudo python setup.py install

Mapnik

cd software
wget http://download.berlios.de/mapnik/mapnik-0.7.1.tar.bz2
tar xjf mapnik-0.7.1.tar.bz2
cd mapnik-0.7.1/
python scons/scons.py PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/include/postgresql PROJ_INCLUDES=/usr/include PROJ_LIBS=/usr/lib XMLPARSER=libxml2
sudo python scons/scons.py install PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/include/postgresql PROJ_INCLUDES=/usr/include PROJ_LIBS=/usr/lib XMLPARSER=libxml2

Osmosis

Osmosis changed its database layout with version 0.36. As we are still using the old one use version 0.35.1.

cd software
wget http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~bretth/osmosis-build/osmosis-bin-latest.zip
unzip osmosis-latest-bin.zip
chmod 755 osmosis-0.xx/bin/osmosis
sudo ln -s `pwd`/osmosis-0.xx/bin/osmosis /usr/bin/

mod_tile

cd software
svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/mod_tile

edit render_conf.h:

• HASH_PATH: /osm/tiles/
• fix MAPNIK-paths
• generate /etc/renderd.conf

Apply patch to check on changed style file (see [1] for details). Download the patch file from this address.

cd mod_tile
patch -p1 < rerender_updated_style.patch

make
sudo make install
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

OSB

• Configure Apache2 (just the paths)
• Create conf.php from conf.php-dist

• If you want to import the database from an osm-file, include the plugins "pg_cache" and "osm_import" and set an $osm_import_source to the file.
• If you want to render the basemap, include the plugin "basemap" and (if you use mod_tile resp. renderd) "renderd". You can find the finished Mapnik style in www/plugins/basemap/base.mapnik
