Overpass API developpement

[Igor Brejc <>]

Hi,

Not sure if it helps, but I'm running my own private instance of Overpass (I have set it up when I was quite new to Linux so some things could have been done better), but I've documented everything, including troubleshooting: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Breki/Overpass_API_Installation

Cheers,

Igor

I would with a client and we use OSM to gather map data and make tactile maps

querying OSM locally. I started following the instructions at
http://overpass-api.de/no_frills.html for setting this service up. I created a
virtual machine on Google Cloud running Ubuntu 14.04. I have successfully run
through all of the steps, including cloning the database with the
download_clone.sh script

Now, when I run a query with $EXEC_DIR/bin/osm3s_query --db-dir=$DB_DIR I get
empty results (see below)

encoding remark: Your input starts with a tag but not the root tag. Thus, a
line with the
datatype declaration and a line with the root tag 'osm-script' is
added. This shifts line numbering by -2 line(s).

What might be causing this? There is no error output. Any help greatly
appreciated.
