Rendering OSM data with MapServer on Ubuntu 10.10

This page provides step by step instructions to setup a Ubuntu 10.10 LTS server from scratch to render OSM data with MapServer 6.x.

The following instructions assume that we start with a brand new Ubuntu 10.10 server with Apache installed but none of the MapServer related packages installed.

The setup will include:

Create work directory

  • All the steps that follow assume that the data and mapfiles will be installed in a directory called "osm-demo" in your home directory
  • Commands: 
      mkdir ~/osm-demo
  cd ~/osm-demo/

Install UbuntuGIS MapServer and PostGIS packages

  • Relevant docs: ​http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/UbuntuGISRepository
  • At the time of this writing, the current version of MapServer is 6.0.1
  • Commands: 
      sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install cgi-mapserver mapserver-bin

  sudo apt-get install postgresql
  sudo apt-get install postgis postgresql-8.4-postgis
  • Install other non-GIS packages that will be required later on: 
      sudo apt-get install mercurial subversion
  sudo apt-get install zip unzip

Download OSM data

  • You can download data for your region of interest from ​http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/. The rest of these instructions assume that we work with the data for the state of Alabama.
  • Commands: 
      cd ~/osm-demo/
  wget http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/north-america/us/alabama.osm.pbf

Install imposm, using virtualenv

  • Relevant docs: ​http://imposm.org/docs/imposm/latest/install.html
  • Install dependencies and create python virtual env: 
      cd ~/osm-demo/
  sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev protobuf-compiler \
                      libprotobuf-dev libtokyocabinet-dev python-psycopg2 \
                      libgeos-c1

  sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
  virtualenv venv
  source venv/bin/activate
  • Install shapely speedups: (shapely 1.2.11 has bugs, use 1.2.10) 
      sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev
  pip install Shapely==1.2.10
  pip install https://github.com/olt/shapely_speedups/tarball/master
  • Install imposm:

Note that up until recently imposm did not create the generalized tables used by the mapserver-utils mapfile. Since version 2.3.0 this is not the case anymore, so there is no need to install a forked version of imposm as was the case in the first versions of this document 

  pip install imposm

Create database

  • Relevant docs: ​http://imposm.org/docs/imposm/latest/tutorial.html
  • Commands: 
      imposm-psqldb > create-db.sh
  vi ./create-db.sh # cross check if all path are set properly
... edit the following lines:
-------------------8<--------------
psql -d osm -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql             # <- CHECK THIS PATH
psql -d osm -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-1.5/spatial_ref_sys.sql     # <- CHECK THIS PATH
------------------->8--------------

  sudo su postgres
  sh ./create-db.sh
  /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 restart
  exit

Load data using imposm

  • Relevant docs: ​http://imposm.org/docs/imposm/latest/tutorial.html
  • Commands: 
      cd ~/osm-demo/
  imposm --read alabama.osm.pbf
  imposm --write --database osm --host localhost --user osm
  (... if prompted for db password, the default is osm)
  imposm  --optimize -d osm
  • Note: multiple .osm.pbf files can be loaded in separate commands using the --merge-cache argument.

Install mapserver-utils mapfile generator

  • Website: ​http://code.google.com/p/mapserver-utils/
  • Check out the 'imposm-branch' from SVN: 
      cd ~/osm-demo/
  svn checkout http://mapserver-utils.googlecode.com/svn/branches/imposm-branch/ mapserver-utils-svn-imposm
  cd mapserver-utils-svn-imposm
  • Update mapserver-utils's osmbase.map and Makefile as follows: 
      vi osm-base.map
-------------------8<------------------------
  WEB
...
    IMAGEPATH "/tmp/ms_tmp/"
    IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"
 END
...
-------------------->8-----------------------

  vi Makefile
-------------------8<------------------------
OSM_SRID=900913
OSM_UNITS=meters
OSM_EXTENT=-20000000 -20000000 20000000 20000000
...
STYLE=outlined,google
-------------------->8-----------------------
  • Create MapServer temp dirs (required by mapserv CGI for testing with openlayers template) 
      mkdir /tmp/ms_tmp
  chmod 777 /tmp/ms_tmp
  • Execute the mapserver-utils makefile to generate the mapfile. Note that the first time you run 'make' several large files will be downloaded (country boundaries, etc.). This will happen only the first time. 
      cd ~/osm-demo/mapserver-utils-svn-imposm
  make
  • The 'make' command will have generated a osm-google.map based on the parameters in the generate_style.py script.
  • More information about tweaking the map styles is available at ​http://code.google.com/p/mapserver-utils/wiki/TweakingMapStylesImposm
  • Access your map online using MapServer's built-in template=openlayers mode: 
    http://yourserver.tld/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/path/to/osm-demo/mapserver-utils-svn-imposm/osm-outlined,google.map&mode=browse&template=openlayers&layers=all

Setup Mod-Geocache

  • Relevant docs: ​http://mod-geocache.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/INSTALL
  • Required packages: 
      sudo apt-get install autoconf
  sudo apt-get install apache2-dev
  sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev
  • Checkout and build source: 
      svn checkout http://mod-geocache.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ mod-geocache-svn-ro
  cd mod-geocache-svn-ro/
  autoconf
  ./configure
  make

  sudo make install-module
  sudo apache2ctl restart
  • Create our own geocache-osm.xml based on docs in sample geocache.xml (​http://mod-geocache.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocache.xml) or in pretty print at ​http://code.google.com/p/mod-geocache/source/browse/trunk/geocache.xml 
      mkdir ~/osm-demo/geocache
  cp ~/osm-demo/mod-geocache-svn-ro/geocache.xml ~/osm-demo/geocache/geocache-osm.xml
  vi ~/osm-demo/geocache/geocache-osm.xml
... make required changes to template to make it work with our installation:

  <cache name="disk" type="disk">
...
       <base>/path/to/osm-demo/geocache/cache</base>

...
   <source name="osm" type="wms">
      <http>
         <url>http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?</url>
      </http>
...
            <MAP>/path/to/osm-demo/mapserver-utils-svn-imposm/osm-outlined,google.map</MAP>
...

   <tileset name="osm">
      <metadata>
         <title>OSM MapServer served map</title>
         <abstract>see http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmDataUbuntu</abstract>

      <auto_expire>86400</auto_expire>

   </tileset>
  • Create 'cache' directory writable by Apache (www-data) user 
      mkdir ~/osm-demo/geocache/cache
  sudo chown www-data ~/osm-demo/geocache/cache/
  • Add directives to Apache config: 
      sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
... add the following lines to the end of the default VirtualHost (update the '/path/to/' directory name):

  <IfModule geocache_module>
    GeoCacheAlias /geocache "/path/to/osm-demo/geocache/geocache-osm.xml"
  </IfModule>
  • And restart apache for the changes to take effect: 
      sudo apache2ctl restart
