Nominatim installation with full planet on debian squeeze

Hi, We are looking for nominatim experts to resolve a problem we are struggle with. The problem description: From the available two approaches (pre-indexed nominatim file and osm based loading and indexing), we've tried to walk the path of the second alternative. Using the nominatim-provided [login to view URL] tool, currently the create-indeces is running for approx 3 weeks. As the processes (16 postgres threads besides the one of nominatim [login to view URL]) are running at the background, it's impossible for us to check the progress or verify if everything goes fine or not. The machine's configuration: 32G RAM 1TB HDD / 700G should be enough for the overall nominatim db 16 core CPU 3GHz each operating system: debian squeeze postgres with postgis 9.1 What we'd like to is roughly the following: - check if everything is ok, or something goes wrong with the indexing - a running nominatim application with the full planet loaded and indexed (it's up to you which way you prefer, with npi-s or osm-s), - a detailed documentation based on which we could reproduce the installation on further (similar) environments - a working search and reverse geocaching feature with tuned db parameters I'd let you root access to the server, so work could be done from any remote location. Please send us a fixed price offer that you think would cover the expenses of this task. Would you need more info, please do not hesitate to contact me: +3630-258 5778 Thanks, kind regards: Balazs
