Hi,

I've been trying to install OSM on a CentOS 6.5 VM. I believe all of the pieces work correctly but when I try to have a tile rendered from the browser, the tile is not created.

The httpd error log says: [Sat Apr 11 00:42:52 2015] [warn] [client ::1] socket connect failed for: /var/run/renderd/renderd.sock with reason: Permission denied [Sat Apr 11 00:42:52 2015] [notice] [client ::1] Failed to connect to renderer

Here's the directory listing: [root@localhost 9.3]# ll /var/run/renderd/ total 8 -rw-r--r--. 1 osm osm 6 Apr 11 00:22 renderd.pid srwxrwxrwx. 1 osm osm 0 Apr 11 00:22 renderd.sock -rw-r--r--. 1 osm osm 1168 Apr 11 17:01 renderd.stats

Apache works

Renderd works - generate_tiles.py runs successfully

Mod_tile seems to work - http://localhost/mod_tile returns the stats page

The python installation test to import mapnik was successful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

generate_tiles.py working does not mean that renderd is working, because this program renders tiles directly without involving renderd.

You should try if one of the renderd client programs, e.g .render_list, is working; that would be an indication of renderd doing its job right.

The most likely cause of your problem is that renderd is running all right, but with the socket not being writable for the unix user under which Apache is running, the web server cannot send messages through the socket. One possible solution would be a chmod a+w /var/run/renderd/renderd.sock but this will only fix things until the next restart of renderd. Normally renderd takes care to create this socket in a world-writable fashion (cf. https://github.com/openstreetmap/mod_tile/blob/master/src/daemon.c#L445) and it is unclear why this should not be the case on your system.

Thanks! Appreciate your reply!

render_list did work!

But chmod a+w /var/run/renderd/renderd.sock did not make a difference. Still can't get the browser to initiate tile rendering.

Are you still getting '/var/run/renderd/renderd.sock with reason: Permission denied'? Is it possible that you have SELinux enabled? If yes, try disabling it and re-try.

Disabling SELinux did it!

Really appreciate your help, Frederik. I've been working on this for weeks!
