KD2 mini MBTiles tile server (PHP)
This is a simple yet powerful and fast MBTiles server.
It will serve tiles out of .mbtiles files (SQLite database) using the /z/x/y.png format requests.
You can enable a local file cache to serve files faster.
Support for X-SendFile (Apache and Lighttpd) is included but you have to enable it.
It's currently the lightest and fastest MBTiles tile server.
Requirements:
- PHP 5.4+
- SQLite3 binding for PHP (debian/ubuntu: apt-get install php5-sqlite)
Use
- Edit the PHP file to change the path to the MBTiles file.
- Copy the PHP file and .htaccess to a directory.
- Configure OpenLayers or LeafLet to make requests on http://yoursite.tld/mbtiles/directory/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
Best configuration for Apache
This is actually the fastest configuration. This way PHP gets called only when the file is not cached. So 99% of times the file is served by Apache.
- Optional: Install and enable the X-Sendfile extension, set ENABLE_X_SENDFILE to true.
- Enable local cache: set ENABLE_LOCAL_CACHE to true
- Set your virtual host to the cache/ directory
- Add this to your Apache vhost config: Options None DocumentRoot /path/to/mbtiles/directory/cache ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/mbtiles/directory/mbtiles-server.php
You don't need to enable the RewriteEngine.
