Nominatim Help

[wolfbgn]

Hello, Mr.Tananaev. I run Debian 8.7, Nginx 1.6, Traccar 2.12 with traccar-web. Every thing works perfectly with the provided url address of Nominatim server in the configuration file. I get the addresses right and displayed in Bulgarian. Recently I installed Nominatim 2.5 and Traccar 3.9. They are on the same machine. When I point my browser to 192.168.1.100/nominatim/ I am able to connect and view the page. In the upper right corner is "reverse search". When I press it I get http://192.168.1.100/nominatim/reverse.php?format=html. I assume Nominatim works. Traccar 2.12 does not display address with my instance of Nominatim. With url of nominatim server in original file provided by you it works. Traccar 3.9 does not display address with my instance of Nominatim. With google it works. With my server - no. I tried with url of nominatim server which works with 2.12 but it does not work either. Settings in default.xml

    <entry key='geocoder.enable'>true</entry>
    <entry key='geocoder.type'>nominatim</entry>
    <entry key='geocoder.url'>http://localhost/nominatim/reverse.php</entry>

I do not know what other settings to check for reverse geocoding.

If you try it on 3.10 and it doesn't work, it should print some more details about the error in the logs.

Traccar 3.10 log:

2017-02-21 11:13:37  WARN: Geocoding failed - Unexpected char 69 at (line no=1, column no=1, offset=0) - JsonParsingExc$

[tananaev]

It means that geocoder returned an invalid response.

Any suggestions what I should do?

[tananaev]

I'm not sure, but you can probably find out by sending a request yourself from browser.

What does the EOF mean in JSON output?

[wolfbgn]

I do not know. I just copied and pasted what the page dispalays.

[tananaev]

Maybe that's your problem. It's not a valid JSON.
