Error importing map with osm2pgsql


I've been following this guide to setting up my own osm node. https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-14-04/

I've gone trough all the compiles and configurations with no complications (twice) but in both runs I ended up with the following error

Using built-in tag processing pipeline

Setting up table: planet_osm_point

I've gone trough the database configuration again and everything seems to be in order. Any ideas how to debug/fix this?

Solution

  • The type "geometry" does not exist part clearly states that you have no postgis extension installed.

    Maybe you missed/forgot following part of the tutorial on creating extension in postgres db?
