Hi,

a few thinkgs you can check:

- has the Apache configuration in /etc/apache2/conf-available/nominatim.conf
  been created correctly and does it point to the correct directory
  (website in your build directory)?
- try restarting apache
- check that user 'www-data' can access the website directory

Kind regards

Hi Hriday,

the minimum memory requirement was 2GB RAM last time I checked. You won't
need more than that when working with smaller extracts. If anyhow
possible I recommend to try the installation on your local machine.
There are Vagrant script included, if you prefer to run it on a
virtual machine.

Kind regards

Hello Sarah,


Thank you for guiding me through the first steps in developing an
implementation plan for the project titled “Improve Postcode Handling”.


I have gone through http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements to better
understand the OSM data model. I now have a fair idea of what nodes, ways,
relations, tags are and how they are related to each other. I also went
through http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr and
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dpostal_code and
understand how postcodes are either mapped to an address or to an area
within a geo fence. I also built and ran a few addr:postcode and
 boundary:postal_code queries using the Overpass Turbo Wizard (
https://overpass-turbo.eu/ )for examples of the data output on the map.


I went through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_code to get a general
idea about postcode systems. The characters used in postal codes are the
Arabic numerals "0" to "9", letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet, spaces
and hyphens. India has a 6 character numeric postcode, but many countries
have alphanumeric postcodes with varying number of characters.


I have experience in installing Wordpress, WooCommerce and other Ecommerce
softwares on AWS. Hence, I plan to install Nominatim on AWS Server - free
tier (https://aws.amazon.com/free/ ). However, from what I’ve read, it
looks like 1 GB of RAM provided under free tier may not be sufficient. I
would appreciate if you could suggest alternative low cost/free servers. In
addition to
https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim/blob/master/docs/install-on-ubuntu-16.md
and
https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim/blob/master/docs/Import_and_update.md
, I will also refer to the following installation guides:

, https://andrewwhitby.com/2014/12/18/nominatim-on-ec2/ ,

Thank you.

Re: [OSM-dev] Submitting proposal for GSoC 2017

2017-02-16 Thread Sarah Hoffmann 
Hi Hriday,

thank you for your interest in the OSM GSoC.

There are a couple of things you can do to prepare for the postcode
project.

First of all you should familiarize yourself a bit with the OSM data
model in general (nodes, ways, relations, tags) and then find out
how postcode tagging works in particular. There are essetially two
ways how postcodes are mapped: as part of an address for a particular
house (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr) or as an
area (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dpostal_code).
You can use Overpass (or Overpass Turbo) to find examples of the data.

Nominatim actually uses complete OSM data dumps and processes them
into a search database. So improving the search means improving the
import process. So, next you should try and set up your own instance
of Nominatim using the current development version from
https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim (installation documentation
can be found in the doc/ directory) and a data extract from
http://download.geofabrik.de/. I recommend something from Europe
as there is already a fair coverage with postcodes.

Finally, it will also be helpful if you do a little bit of research
about postcodes in general to find out what different systems are
in use and where.

Hope that helps to get you started.

Kind regards

Sarah

[OSM-dev] Submitting proposal for GSoC 2017

2017-02-16 Thread Hriday N Sanghvi 
Hello Lonvia,


I’m a student of Computer Science Engineering at SRM University, India (
http://www.srmuniv.ac.in/). I am interested in submitting my proposal for
GSOC 2017 for either one of the Open Street Map projects 1. Improve
Postcode handling or 2. OpenAddresses for Nominatim.


I have extensive experience working with PHP and MySQL databases on various
web based projects. I have undergone a PostgreSQL course on
https://www.lynda.com/PHP-5-tutorials/PostgreSQL-9-with-PHP-Essential-Training/73930-2.html
and http://www.tutorialspoint.com/postgresql/ and I’m quite comfortable
working with Github. I have some experience with Google Maps API while
working on a location based Click-and-Collect grocery shopping app. I plan
to continue with coding for OSM even after the GSOC project and also plan
to base my six months project in the eighth and final semester of my course
on OSM.

I understand that the list of accepted mentoring organizations will be
published on February 27 and potential student participants will discuss
application ideas with mentoring organizations from February 27 to March 20
and that student application period is open from March 20 to April 3, but I
wish to start early.


I have downloaded JOSM to edit my local area on the map, but I found ID
editor to be an easier option.

With regard to extraction of postcode data and exporting data to the
Nominatim database related to the project titled “Improve Postcode
Handling”, I have looked at API v 0.6 (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6 ), including the endpoints for
capabilities (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/capabilities ),
permissions (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/permissions ),
change sets (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changesets ), nodes
(http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/node/12345 ), and trace
metadata (http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/gpx/12345/details ) in
which I was asked for Authentication.

I also went through the Overpass API (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API ), Overpass Turbo remote (
http://overpass-turbo.eu/ ) and Overpass Turbo Query form (
http://www.overpass-api.de/query_form.html ).

Though I was able to download limited data using the “Download Map data
from OSM server” tool in JOSM, I am not sure about the endpoint and query
to get post codes using API v 0.6 or Overpass API. I would really
appreciate any help on this. 

I’m confident of producing productive work during the GSOC period. Before I
start working on the proposal for GSOC 2017, I would appreciate any
guidance you could provide.


Thank you.
