[NUUG fiksgatami] Accessing tile server

[selvam velmurugan]

Thanks, Matthew.

As I keep hacking through index.cgi and Page.pm, had couple of questions to
clarify.

1. How does BCI log info/debug/warn/error ? Since I couldn't find any I
installed Log4perl -  for some old-style debugging :)

2. What are the steps to setup EvEl ?

Thanks,
Selvam
