INSTALLATION NOTES
==================
Dependencies
------------
MapOSMatic depends on :
* Python, the programming language.
* Django, the Web framework used to develop the Web front-end, but
also used for the maposmaticd daemon to conveniently access the
database through Django's ORM.
* OCitySMap, the rendering pipeline for MapOSMatic. See OCitySMap's
install file for installation instructions and OCitySMap's
dependencies.
* python-psycopg2, to let Django access the PostgreSQL database.
* python-feedparser, to parse the MapOSMatic blog feed and display
the latest entries on the main MapOSMatic website.
* python-imaging, to render PNG maps.
* gettext, for internationalization.
* JSON (any python-*json package should work).
* ImageMagick, for rendering the thumbnails of multi-page maps.
On an debian/ubuntu installation, the following should be enough:
sudo aptitude install python-django python-psycopg2 \
python-feedparser python-imaging gettext imagemagick
You will also most likely need a working PostGIS installation for the
entire pipeline to run. See the INSTALL documentation of OcitySMap for
more details.
Setup
-----
The www/ directory contains the Django web application. The file
www/settings_local.py.dist must be copied to www/settings_local.py and
modified to match your installation configuration.
Likewise for www/maposmatic.wsgi.dist and scripts/config.py.dist,
respectively as www/maposmatic.wsgi and scripts/config.py.
The database must then be initialized with the tables needed for MapOSMatic,
using :
python www/manage.py syncdb
The rendering daemon should be run in the background. It will fetch rendering
jobs from the database and put the results in a directory, as specified in the
settings_local.py file.
To setup the daemon, you need to configure the wrapper in the scripts/
directory by copying scripts/config.py-template to scripts/config.py and
editing it to match your setup. The wrapper will set the necessary environment
variables and paths for the daemon to run correctly.
Then, you can run the rendering daemon through the wrapper with:
.../scripts/wrapper.py scripts/daemon.py &
You'll find in support/init-maposmaticd-template an init script
template that you can tweak and install on your machine to start the
MapOSMatic rendering daemon automatically at boot time. If you are not
using it or an equivalent, then please ignore any message "The
MapOSMatic rendering daemon is currently not running! [...]" that the
web frontend (below) might display.
Testing with Django integrated web server
-----------------------------------------
Before you think about configuring your web server to provide the
maposmatic services, you should try them locally first:
.../www/manage.py runserver
Then point your web browser to the address mentioned in the output
message. You will need to adjust RENDERING_RESULT_URL in
www/settings_local.py to something like
'http://localhost:8000/results' (8000 being the port that is assigned
to the integrated web server, printed on the console when you start
it), otherwise the rendered map files will not be accessible through
the web frontend.
External Web server configuration
---------------------------------
In a normal setup, you don't want to use the Django integrated web
server. If you are using Apache, you can adapt the configuration file
given in support/apache-maposmatic-template.
Also double-check DEFAULT_MAPOSMATIC_LOG_FILE in www/settings_local.py
is writable by the web server. For example:
sudo chgrp www-data /path/to/maposmatic/logs/maposmatic.log
sudo chmod 664 /path/to/maposmatic/logs/maposmatic.log
Internationalization
--------------------
To get proper internationalisation, you need to compile the gettext
locale files:
cd www && django-admin compilemessages
Don't forget to restart the Django server or it won't pick up the new
translated strings!
