renderd only working on local - no "incoming connection" is shown

Hello!
You can imagine that english is not my first choice when I have to communicate. I hope that it will be sufficient to talk about my request for help in this forum. With other words: I want to apologize to everybody for my broken “denglisch” (a poor mix between german and english).

Since a few days I am trying to get my own tileserver running. I tried two different tutorials (this one https://ircama.github.io/osm-carto-tutorials/tile-server-ubuntu/#configure-apache and this one https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-18-04-lts/

If I fire it ip by hand “renderd -f -c /usr/local/etc/renderd.conf” it seams to work on the first look.

renderd[9527]: Using web mercator projection settings
renderd[9527]: Using web mercator projection settings

As far as I understood this warning is because of an old and not required font. And the last two entries should tell me everything is fine.

And now the part where my problems are beginning

Logged on the server via ssh:


wget http://localhost/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png

2019-09-14 17:58:10 (23.0 MB/s) - ‘0.png’ saved

I checked the file and everything seams fine. But there is no “log” in renderd. Nothing happened.

If I compare this with a different and working tilesever (not my system) renderd is logging something like “incoming connection”.

Here is the point: If I start my browser and call the url of my server (notmy.url/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png) the server is responding with 404.

I can not find anything in /var/log/apache2/error.log or /var/log/system.log which would helped me so far.

renderd seams to be working local because I am getting png-tiles when requesting them via wget. But why is renderd not showing that it has done something? Could there be more then one renderd binary and I am starting the wrong one?

It would be very kind If someone could help me. If you would need more informations just ask for them.
