Hi all

We need to load some overlay maps for our project and have so far been 
unsuccessful. I'm following the instructions at 
https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/creating-new-map-layers/#tileserver-mapnik-layers
 to 
try to load a couple of georeferenced TIFF files. The maps load 
successfully in QGIS, so we have confidence that they are correctly 
georeferenced. 

Adapting the XML shown on that page, I have the following for one of the 
maps:

<Map background-color="transparent">
  <Layer name="Geology">
    <StyleName>raster</StyleName>
    <Datasource>
      <Parameter name="type">gdal</Parameter>
      <Parameter 
name="file">/home/ubuntu/Maps/Jersey_25K_BGS_Geology.tif</Parameter>
      <Parameter name="nodata">0</Parameter>
    </Datasource>
  </Layer>
  <Style name="Geology">
    <Rule name="rule1">
      <RasterSymbolizer opacity="0.7" scaling="bilinear" mode="normal" />
      <!-- <MinScaleDenominator>500</MinScaleDenominator>
      <MaxScaleDenominator>100000</MaxScaleDenominator> -->
    </Rule>
  </Style>
</Map>

which is loaded using the command

python manage.py packages -o add_tileserver_layer -m 
"/home/ubuntu/Maps/Jersey_25K_BGS_Geology.xml" -n "Geology"

The layer name Geology then appears in the list of overlays but nothing 
appears when the layer is enabled.

I have tried adding projection parameters to the opening Map tag

<Map background-color="transparent" srs="+proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 
+k=0.999601272 +x_0=400000 +y_0=-100000 +ellps=airy 
+towgs84=446.448,-125.157,542.06,0.15,0.247,0.842,-20.489 +units=m 
+no_defs">

and these are correct, as far as we can tell. If we change the 
background-color parameter to "white" or "black", the layer colour changes 
as expected.

These maps are complete in one file but we do have another map which is 
tiled in separate files: would we need to use a separate tile-server to use 
that?

I expect we've missed something simple but any help or advice would be 
appreciated!

Thanks
David
