When I select a boundary box for tiles, they don't generate. But when I have the boundary box be the entire world, the tiles generate. When I look at what has been generated, it is a blank world except for the state that I am trying to generate tiles for. I have imported the state into the database, but I can't seem to get tiles to generate when I specify the boundary box. What can I do?

Can you give more backgroud information? What exactly are you trying to do? What program are you using to generate tiles? Have you followed some guides?

I am trying to get tiles generated for the southern part of California. I am using Mapnik to generate the tiles. I am following the mapnik guide on the osm wiki.

Perhaps you have the coordinates in the wrong variables. It happened to me too. If you call a function similar to generate(bbox(x1,y1,x2,y2),zoomlvl, name). Make sure your x's and y's are given correct values.

Please look for error messages mapnik produces. Perhaps this similar question can give you some hints: http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/8506/mapnik-image-generations-returns-error

If you get tiles, but all are empty, perhaps the extent bounds in inc/datasource-settings.xml.inc is wrong.
