OSM Import Cannot find SRID (4326) in spatial_ref_sys

[four43]

When importing an OSM file (Minnesota) I am receiving the following error after the "Relation" step and most other steps complete:

St13runtime_error
pthread_join() returned exception: Throw location unknown (consider using BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION)
Dynamic exception type: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::current_exception_std_exception_wrapper<std::runtime_error> >
std::exception::what: CREATE TABLE planet_osm_polygon_tmp  AS SELECT * FROM planet_osm_polygon ORDER BY CASE WHEN ST_IsEmpty(way) THEN NULL ELSE ST_GeoHash(ST_Transform(ST_Envelope(way),4326),10) END failed: ERROR:  GetProj4StringSPI: Cannot find SRID (4326) in spatial_ref_sys

Is there a way to populate that spatial_ref_sys table? Thanks.

It looks like this has probably been broken since openstreetmap/osm2pgsql@b2a9f7280e13d67aa287ca4202356ff1073338f2 which added 4326 as a requirement.

There are two options at the moment:

docker exec -it CONTAINER bash
su - postgres
psql -d gis "TRUNCATE spatial_ref_sys.sql"
psql -d gis -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/postgis-2.1/spatial_ref_sys.sql

This inserts all the SRS's. The truncate is required as 900913 has been in spatial_ref_sys.sql since PostGIS r12623 which means you will get duplicate key errors due to the insert called by createdb.

Alternatively, you can copy the required 4326 entry from spatial_ref_sys.sql and insert that by itself.

Happy to put in a pull request for either fix. Possibly sourcing all of spatial_ref_sys.sql (and remove the 900913 entry from run.sh) is the easiest and most fool/future proof rather than adding an individual SRS.

I ended up using a different container: mdillon/postgis and that seems to be working well for our needs.

i use this files : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/postgis/postgis/svn-origin/svn-2.1/spatial_ref_sys.sql otherwise the 900913.sql

you have all ref (900913 and 4326) and its works for me

@kwauchope shouldn't this:

docker exec -it CONTAINER bash su - postgres psql -d gis "TRUNCATE spatial_ref_sys.sql" psql -d gis -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/postgis-2.1/spatial_ref_sys.sql

be:

docker exec -it CONTAINER bash
su - postgres
psql -d gis -c "TRUNCATE spatial_ref_sys"
psql -d gis -f /usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/postgis-2.1/spatial_ref_sys.sql
