Tile Mill issues with mapbox's natural earth layer #1638

Open alexgek opened 12 years ago

alexgek commented 12 years ago

When trying to use any of MapBox's natual earth layer (from add layer -> file -> MapBox) I get the following error message:

Unable to determine SRS for layer "httpmapboxgeodata" at [project location]...\MapBox\project\sg\layers\httpmapboxgeodata\80b26bd1-10m-admin-1-states-provinces-lines.shp

I'm a newcomer so this is basically my first project after installing Tile Mill.

Happens with both 1.3 and 1.4. Changing the SRS from autodetect doesn't help.

Any hep would be appreciated :)

Hey there @alexgek - what TileMill version are experiencing this with?

springmeyer commented 12 years ago

@alexgek - it sounds like you may need to clear you downloads cache which is in your user folder in the MapBox folder in a subfolder called cache. See http://mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/troubleshooting for more details.

Hi Dane,

I'm running version 0.9.1. Clearing the download cache didn't help, but thanks for the troubleshhoting page, I missed this one. I'll try to go through the other steps and see if that helps. Thanks!

Hey @alexgek - thanks for the followup. So, is the error you posted above Unable to determine SRS for layer "httpmapboxgeodata" at [project location]...\MapBox\project\sg\layers\httpmapboxgeodata\80b26bd1-10m-admin-1-states-provinces-lines.shp the exact error you see in your logs?

springmeyer commented 12 years ago

or did you edit to put the [project location] in the error?

alexgek commented 12 years ago

Hi, sorry about the delay the [project location] was my edit for the project subfolder route. I've now gone on the path of least resistance and performed a clean re-install. Everything seems to be in order now. Many thanks for the assistance!
