Can't change or add layers in tilestache.cfg

[Carl Sack]

I am working with MBTiles, and have been able to configure Tilestache to serve my tileset. My problem, though, is that I was only able to do this by changing the provider and URL in the existing "example" layer, like so:

{

  "cache":

  {

    "name": "Test",

    "path": "/tmp/stache",

    "umask": "0000"

  },

  "layers":

  {

    "osm":

    {

        "provider": {"name": "proxy", "provider": "OPENSTREETMAP"},

        "png options": {"palette": "http://tilestache.org/example-palette-openstreetmap-mapnik.act"}

    },

    "example":

    {

        "provider": {

"name": "mbtiles",

"tileset": "file://var/www/sandmap.mbtiles"

}

    }

  }

}

I cannot add a new layer and make it work. In fact, if I try to change the name of "example" to something else, and then use that layername as the directory in my browser URL, I get the page with "Known unknown! "layername" is not a layer I know about. Here are some that I do know about: example, osm." I can still use "example" as the directory and my tiles show up (yes, I have erased my browser cache to test this). This is the only tilestache.cfg file on the server. It seems like "example" and "osm" are hard-coded as the only recognized layer names somewhere outside the cfg file, but I am stumped as to where or how to change/add to them. Anyone got any ideas?

I know it's been a few years, but I am running into this issue.  I thought that in order for tilestache to see any changes in the tilestache.cfg one needed to run tilestache-seed.py, but due to what I think are odd python errors I am not able to reproduce my efforts.  Did you ever find a solution and if so what was it?

Thank you.
