Hi all, I'm very new to OSM and postgreSQL ...I've been trying for some days to load .oms extracts onto PostgreSql through osm2pgsql..and I just can't get my around it. Need some help, plz...

C:\Users\Francesca>osm2pgsql -d Test -m -W C:\OSM\08---Emilia-Romagna.osm -S C:\
osm2pgsql-bin\default.style  -c -U postgres -H localhost -P 5433 -r osm

I've tried to download .pbt file but I got other XML parsing error such as "invalid token"... What do I do wrong? Thanks

Could you make the input file available somewhere or point to from where you got it?

Pls don't answer your own question :-)

There are 7 files listed, which one/format did you download?

(24 Oct '17, 19:22) SimonPoole ♦

:) I tried .oms and the .pbf (no cut)

Visual inspection didn't indicate anything obviously wrong with the .osm file (at least the first and last couple of dozen elements, so it should have read at least a couple of nodes.

However I suspect the -r flag is wrong according to the documentation that should by -r xml for osm format files NOT -r osm (and for pbf you should be specifying -r pbf).

I put -r flag as xml and it worked as a charm... except that I got another error message:

Osm2pgsql failed due to ERROR: XML parsing error at line 17257713, column 1: unclosed token

Any suggestions? Thanks

If you downloaded the files yesterday, the uncompressed file should be 5668669254 bytes large (your issue sounds like a corrupted file, I checked my copy and it was OK at and around the line in question)

Hi SimonPoole, I followed your hint and I realized that trying different unzipping softwares I was always getting different files! I picked the file with bytes number closer to the one you suggested...and HAlleluiaaaa, it worked! Thanks a lot

Problem solved. Many lessons learned (and many unzipping softwares to be binned)

well normally when in doubt we would have compared checksums, but that would have required finding a windows variant of what is available on Linux.
