After a long seasonal break Osmxapi is now up and running again.<br><br>The server it was running on (<a href="http://hypercube.telascience.org">hypercube.telascience.org</a>) lost its disk on 19 December. Which also happened to be the day I went on vacation. When the disk was restored Osmxapi wouldn't restart because it needed a database check. So it stayed down until I returned from vacation.
<br><br>By the time I returned the hourly diff files had been purged up to December 25 meaning Osmxapi would not have changes for the period 19-25 December. So I started a rebuild from planet.osm. Planet is now large enough that it takes several days to do a complete rebuild. However, since Brett had also fixed the UTF-8 bug in the Osmosis hourly diffs it was also worth doing the rebuild to get rid of all those UTF-8 problems that had been introduced.
<br><br>So now we have a fresh clean Osmxapi database with no UTF-8 problems (I hope).<br><br>Enjoy<br>80n<br>
