Hi Thomas, Thanks for the suggestion. Commenting out the source block disables the WMS requests.
However, the error reporting seems to be broken. Setting <errors>empty_img</errors> crashes Apache with a segmentation fault (mod_mapcache SVN revision 12828). Setting <errors>report</errors> throws HTTP 404 responses, which is a more reasonable result.

You can do this by commenting out the <source> block from the tileset once the wanted tiles have been created. You'll probably also want set error reporting to return blank images from that stage onwards. -- thomas On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 00:09, John Taranu <[email protected]> wrote: > We have a fully seeded cache that was fully seeded to a polygon outline. > The intent is to serve the tileset through a variety of services (WMS, > TMS) using mod-mapcache. > > > > Tiles that are outside the polygon outline but still within the > polygon bounding box should be blank tiles.
