[OSM-dev] tirex with custom tileschema

  Hi all,

Does Tirex support different projections and tileschema's? I'm trying to 
get Tirex running with the dutch tiling schema*). I've got Mapnik and 
TileCache working together to display my tiles, so the osm.xml is 
correct. However since TileCache doesn't have any update strategy and I 
do want to keep the tiles reasonably current so I'm looking into Tirex. 
I'm using a modified tileserver.js on node.js which I've gotten from 
Peter/ /Körner to access Tirex. However when I request tiles I get a 
HTTP 500 Internal server error and the X-Error header says 'render error'.
I can't seem to find any more detailed information on this error. The 
only thing I've seen is from tileserver.js:
tirex>>>  nodets-32069-1210
tirex<<<  nodets-32069-1210
GET /tiles/osm/2/3/1.png -> 500 Internal Server Error (render error)

And in /var/log/tirex/jobs.log
2011-04-11T12:14:09 id=1302516849_33668080 map=osm x=0 y=0 z=2 prio=10 
request_time=1302516849 expire= sources=C render_time=0 success=

Which to me means that tileserver.js does send the request to Tirex, but 
Tirex is unable to render it, which brings me to my initial question: 
can Tirex render non spherical mercator?

Regards,
Steven
