Peter Körner:
as river & marcin agreed on a plan to make ptolem the new toolserver-db, we should maybe wait for this to happen before putting any more work in cassini.
there might be some delay on this as WM-DE want to consider other options first (like adding additional disk space to cassini).
Okay, so I opened a ticket in jira to install java on cassini [1]. I think the tasks we're setting up on cassini now may be useful on ptolemy later as well.
There still seems to be a problem with mod_tile and renderd:
mod_tile is only returning cached tiles like [2] while a direct rendering with mapnik produces better translated images with data from the current import [3]. mod_tile reports those cached tiles as "due to be rendered" [4] but it won't get rendered.
Unfortunately the mappers group doesn't have access to /var/log/apache2/error.log anymore (only to /var/log/apache2/error.log.1) so I can't see what's going on with renderd.
