Hi, I have installed OSM server on Ubuntu. Now I want to use it in my applications. I want to use my local OSM server for map and not Openstreet map server.

How do I serve the tiles? Any sample HTML code? I have tried code where it is referring to Openstreet map server on openstreetmap.org. How do I change it to refer to localhost server?

To get your own map tile server, you want OSM in a Box - it does all the hard integration work for you :

  • Configures PostgreSQL/PostGIS server
  • Creates an empty database with geospatial features - keeps all attributes in hstore
  • Configures GeoServer and tries to keep osm2gis-configuration consistent with GeoServer styling rules
  • Loads OSM data into the database
  • Incrementally updates the database
  • Produces nice maps (tiles and cached through GeoWebCache)

You can start with the OpenLayers simple example.

Note the section for "Other tile sets". You have to add this code to the layer definition section, instead of the two lines for Mapnik:

var newLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM("New Layer", "URL_TO_TILES/${z}/${x}/${y}.png", {numZoomLevels: 19});
map.addLayer(newLayer);

Just change the URL to the directory where your tiles are, and the zoom levels to how many you have. Then open it in your browser, and it should be showing your local tiles.

Hi Reshma, when you have a chain of questions that go deeper in detail with each answer, you should better ask at forum.osm.org or one of the mailing lists ... maybe there you can get detailed answers beyond any FAQ like this site is.
