Hi, Hopefully you will get encouraging response from this list and someone says that it is actually pretty easy to install Mapnik as WMS on Windows. I did not manage to do it myself but it was a long time ago and I have not tried to do it lately. For comparison, I have been preparing a a Mapserver OSM starter package and manual for setting up your first OpenStreetMap WMS server in ten minutes. The draft of the manual is here http://latuviitta.org/documents/Super_easy_WMS_server.pdf and the starter package which is not totally the same as described in the manual is here http://hip.latuviitta.org/tiedostot/Latuviitan_superhelppo_WMS_OSM_versio.zip
The zip is 227 MB because it comes with demo data (OSM data from Berlin as Spatialite database, Hamburg shapefiles and Finland shapefiles). I hope there will be just as easy way to install Mapnik on Windows sometimes in the future. If Mapnik already renders faster from PostGIS than Mapserver the next thing to do could be to make it faster to install, too! -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________________ Lähettäjä: [email protected] [[email protected]] käyttäjän Jill [[email protected]] puolesta Lähetetty: 21. syyskuuta 2011 20:18 Vastaanottaja: [email protected] Aihe: [Mapnik-users] Unable to make Mapnik work as WMS OGC server Hello! I installed Mapnik with OSGeo4W, so I have Mapnik v0.7.0 and Python 2.5.2... Mapnik seems to work from the OsGeo4W shell, in fact I completed the first Mapnik tutorial on the website. After that, I managed to install the Mapnik OGCServer package (having previously installed PIL v1.1.7, lxml v2.2 and Jon's python modules). On the other hand, I have an Apache 2.2 server running, and I tried to follow these steps to get the wms service running: http://code.google.com/p/mapnik-utils/wiki/WmsInstallGuide but I always get this message in Apache's log: "[Wed Sep 21 18:59:39 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: mapnikwms.py [Wed Sep 21 18:59:39 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback\r [Wed Sep 21 18:59:39 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Traceback (most recent call last):\r [Wed Sep 21 18:59:39 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File "C:/appserv/Apache2.2/htdocs/mapnikserv/mapnikwms.py", line 7, in <module>\r [Wed Sep 21 18:59:39 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] from mapnik.ogcserver.cgiserver import Handler\r [Wed Sep 21 18:59:39 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ImportError: No module named mapnik.ogcserver.cgiserver\r" What am I missing? Please I need help with this issue, it is the first time I try to setup a WMS server...
