Hey Steve,
I think what you are asking is how to load a cached folder of tiles
created with generate_tiles.py in OpenLayers?
You may also be asking how to use TileCache to create tiles from a WMS
or TMS layer in the same tiling mode as generate_tiles.py?
As far as the latter, your 'url' variable must point to a true WMS
server url like Mapnik's OGCServer, not a set of pregenerated tiles.
As far as the former, you don't need TileCache (the python tool). But,
you do use the *TileCache* layer in OpenLayers and you need to modify
the getURL request.
I had an example of that setup sitting around, so I cleaned it up and
posted it here:
http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tutorials/tilecache/generate_tiles_cache.html
Find the line : `var generate_tiles_url` and change it to your cache
url. Looks like for you it is: `http://localhost/tilecache/tiles`

Hi
Does anyone know how I can access the Mapnik tile cache created by
"generate_tiles.py" directly using Tilecache? (ie: using pre-
generated tiles).
I have tried copying the Mapnik cache into /var/www/html/tilecache/
tiles and then setting:
[basic]
type=WMS
url=http://127.0.0.1/tilecache/tiles
extension=png
[cache]
type=Disk
base=/tmp/tilecache
in tilecache.cfg and then running the index.html that comes with
tilecache but this does not work. Neither the apache log nor
firebug (script debugger) give any errors but all I get is a set of
pink squares.
I can get tilecache.cgi to display one image at a time by using
http://127.0.0.1/tilecache/tilecache.cgi/1.0.0/basic/0/0/0.png and
setting the url in tilecache.cfg to http://127.0.0.1/tilecache/tiles/0/0
.
I am using the following, nearly standard code in index.html:
function init(){
map = new OpenLayers.Map( $('map'), {'maxResolution':
360/512});
layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "basic",
"tilecache.cgi?", {layers: 'basic', format:
'image/png' } );
map.addLayer(layer);
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.Permalink());
if (!map.getCenter()) map.zoomToMaxExtent();
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
Steve
