starting mapnik on osgeo-live doesn't work

[camerons]

We have a number of issues with mapnik on OSGeo-Live:

I ran the Mapnik quickstart, starting from "Mapnik & Openlayers" heading. Click Desktop -> Spatial Tools -> Start Mapnik & TileLite Then tried opening ​http://localhost:8000 This URL returns an error, "Unable to connect"

Then, the following URL has changed (quickstart needs to be updated): wrong: ​http://localhost/mapnik/demo/openlayers.html correct to: ​http://localhost/mapnik/openlayers.html

And the contents of new page doesn't load (it only gets a title) (probably because ​http://localhost:8000 didn't load)

Replying to camerons:

I ran the Mapnik quickstart, starting from "Mapnik & Openlayers" heading. Click Desktop -> Spatial Tools -> Start Mapnik & TileLite Then tried opening ​http://localhost:8000 This URL returns an error, "Unable to connect"

it should be port 8012. fixed in svn. (en quickstart)

note sahana also uses port 8000.

works for me.

​http://localhost:8012 works for me - RC1
