Pre-generate tiles

I’ve recently setup a tile server using these instructions: http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/building-a-tile-server-from-packages/. I now want to generate tiles for all zoom levels for a certain area on the map. I’ve tried render_list but can’t get it to run at all when i specify --max-x etc.

Anyone done this?

You should have a script ‘generate_tiles.py’ which you can use to do this. At the bottom of this script you can set a bbox and give min and max zoom levels

I searched for that script and it doesn’t exist, following the instructions in the link above. I’m not sure which package that python script is in, it looks like the version of mapnik that comes with the instructions above is 0.7.
