Overpass API developpement

[Sameera Bandara <>]

Hi Roland,

Thank you very much for the reply. I actually already sorted out the issue after checkin nohup.out. As you have mentioned the issue was something with absolute paths. I specified the relative path to the database_dir and it worked. Below is the error I got initially.

/data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin/rules_loop.sh: line 40: /data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin//data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin/database_dir/rules_loop.log: No such file or directory

/data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin/rules_loop.sh: line 41: /data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin//data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin/database_dir/rules/areas.osm3s: No such file or directory

/data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin/rules_loop.sh: line 42: /data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin//data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin/database_dir/rules_loop.log: No such file or directory

Now the areas are populated and I can issue queries for areas and get results, however the log says the query was timed-out. And it ran exactly 24 hours.

Hi Sameera,

could you please check what the file nohup.out contains. There should be error messages there.

As a blind guess, please try the following:

- Stop the rules_loop.sh process, e.g. by "kill 9990".

- Edit the file /data/osm/osm-3s_v0.7.55/bin/rules_loop.sh:
   replace there the line
     DB_DIR="`pwd`/$1"
   with
     DB_DIR="$1"

- Restart the process, i.e. run the command again please.

I coincidentally ran on the Russian instance into the problem that the script fails if its argument is an absolute path because of that line.

Kind regards,
Roland
