Tilestache & UTF Grid Process

Installation

Use this guide to install requirements

Several config files have already been created for your convenience:

• tilestache.cfg - identifies layers and associated mapnik xml

• tilstache_wsgi.py - configurations for the uWSGI server

• tilestache.ini - the ini file uWSGI uses, copy it to /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/ symlink that to /etc/uwsgi/apps-enables/tilestache.ini

• nginx-tilestache - the template for the config to give to NGINX to serve both the app and the tiles

You will need the corresponding shapefiles in the correct locations for this to work

Serving Tax Lots with UTF Grid

• Clone Landmapper_UTF repo (coming soon) to apps
• Download ORtaxlot_allCounties.(...)
  • from: //neoterra.ecotrust.org/gis/projects/ForestPlanner_2015/Data/Layers/parcels/
  • to: .../apps/Landmapper_UTF/data
    • 1.8 Gb
    • WA Counties available, too
• Follow instructions to serve Tilestache from apps/Landmapper_UTF
• TODO:
  • pull feature info from shape
  • pull county info from shape and display disclaimer as necessary
  • enable on 'select taxlot'
  • add WA taxlots
  • decide if this is really easier than just loading into psql, creating the model, and a private repo
