An error occurred while loading the map layer

[rgbsi-pp3]

I am follwing Switch2OSM link (https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-ubuntu-24-04-lts/) for tileserver implementation & I am getting the following error:

The only difference is I am trying to implement it without systemd service that ubuntu offers. Kindly provide me a solution to overcome the above error. Thanks in advance

This is extremely unlikely to be related to mod_tile :)

The message 'Postgis Plugin: ERROR: syntax error at or near "0.001"' makes me wonder if there's a problem with Postgis plugin (either versions, or are they installed at all?). A web search suggests that no-one else on the internet has had your problem before, which suggests it might be related to something different that you are doing. c.osm.org might be a better place to ask this question, and you'll need to explain what you've actually done that is different.
