Yahoo maps not working

Featured Replies

Don't know if it's just me but my Yahoo Maps doesn't seem to work.

 

I recently reinstalled so I probably screwed something up.

 

Here is my Yahoo Maps entry in the TileProxy proxyuser.ini

 

 

[YahooMaps]

cache_folder=G:\TileProxyCache\cache.Yahoo
network_module=libnettile
module_config="conn=20|rate=2.0|verbose=0|server=http://us.maps3.yimg.com|path=/aerial.maps.yimg.com/img?x=%x&y=%y&z=%z&v=%v&t=a|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"

Thanks in advance for your help

 


Looking at my proxy logs when going to maps.yahoo.com, I have hits to 4.maps.nlp.nokia.com/maptile/2.1/maptile/d38d9a851f/hybrid.day/18/77294/93813/256/png8?

 

When trying to access the nokia link in my browser I have the following message

 

 

 

Access DeniedYou don't have permission to access "http://4.maps.nlp.nokia.com/maptile/2.1/maptile/d38d9a851f/hybrid.day/18/77294/93813/256/png8?" on this server.

Here is my Yahoo Maps entry in the TileProxy proxyuser.ini

 

The only thing I notice is that you are missing the end of the line below, starting with  (compatibility.... )??

 

module_config="conn=20|rate=2.0|verbose=0|server=http://us.maps3.yimg.com|path=/aerial.maps.yimg.com/img?x=%x&y=%y&z=%z&v=%v&t=a|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"

 

Not sure if that is the problem.  Do you see any .jpg files in the G:\TileProxyCache\cache.Yahoo folder?  They should have file names with a format like "tile_l16_x19558_y41557.jpg" for example?

 

You are welcome to try my Proxyuser.ini file (attached).  Just change the extension from .txt to .ini.  Avsim did not let me attach a file with the extension .ini.  You will also have to change the location of my cache_folder(s) from drive E: to G:  (i.e. G:\TileProxyCache\cache.Yahoo)

 

I don't know anything about proxy logs - can't help you there...

 

Good luck,

John

Thanks a lot, your ini worked.

 

I will check in more details what the issue was.

How can we make those changes apply to FSET too ? Does anyone have any idea ? Yahoo has been idle on FSET since they changed their url scheme.
