I have another question on that regard. How do you "put it all together"? Specially if you want to host your maps locally. Mapserver, Openlayers, OSM data, QGIS

I have another question on that regard. How do you "put it all together"? Specially if you want to host your maps locally. Mapserver, Openlayers, OSM data, QGIS, ... I don't know where to start.
Any good references? (I tried google. I will myself check out http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/MappingYourData http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/MappingYourData , but the more the better.)
- altxwally 16y agoHere is a nice tutorial on how set up a server to render tiles with Mapnik: http://weait.com/content/build-your-own-openstreetmap-server http://weait.com/content/build-your-own-openstreetmap-server If you want to serve tiles you would then have to take a look at mod_tile: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mod_tile http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mod_tile

- wlievens 16y agoGeoServer + PostGIS is the typical setup, in my experience it's "light" enough.
