Has anyone successfully used MBTiles to server basemaps in Openlayers? Do any live example exist if yes?
You need server-side software to open the MBTiles file and fetch the tiles. TileStache and TileStream are two popular servers for doing this.
TileStache is Python and I found it fairly easy to set up. It runs under Apache as CGI, mod_python, or WSGI. If you have an existing web server and web content, this is probably the easiest way to go.
TileStream is written in Node JS and takes a bit more setup. It does not run under Apache, but is its own server with its own service port and it has some behaviors regarding the hostname of incoming requests -- running it on port 80 with your other web content is not simple.
