Redirecting To Cartagen Planet Server
Say you’re running an instance of Cartagen Server, or even just a copy of Cartagen Client, but you want access to the full map data for the planet (provided by OpenStreetMap). But you don’t want to run a Planet server!
First, you’ll static_map to false in your html:
<script charset='utf-8' type='text/javascript'>
Cartagen.setup({
stylesheet: "/static/rome/style.gss",
static_map: false,
static_map_layers: ["more.json"],
lat: 41.891,
lng: 12.4902,
// debug: true
})
</script>
Now your map will generate requests to your server at the address:
/api/0.6/geohash/xxxxxx.json
To accomplish that, uncomment the following lines from /app/controllers/api_controller.rb:
url = URI.parse('http://cartagen.org/api/0.6/geohash/'+params[:id]+'.json')
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path)
res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) {|http|
http.request(req)
}
render :text => res.body
.htaccess redirecting
For higher performance, you can redirect requests to your Cartagen Server instance’s /api/0.6/ directory with a .htaccess file containing the following lines:
Redirect 301 /api/0.6/(.*) http://cartagen.org/api/0.6/$1
For a *NIX server, especially Mac OS X, you have to make sure .htaccess redirects are working by modifying the httpd.conf file:
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
And the users/username.conf file:
<Directory "/Users/your_username/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
