Yes

When you start the daemon the only thing you should see is:
$ ./renderd
Rendering daemon
When you then make a request for tiles from the web server, e.g.
http://localhost/osm_tiles2/0/0/0.png
You should see a message from the render daemon saying:
Got incoming connection, fd 9, number 1
Render fd(9) z(0), x(0), y(0)
DONE TILE 0 0-0 0-0
Produced .meta: /var/www/html/direct/0/0/0/0/0/0.meta
If all goes well then you should have a small tile with a map of the
world.
