• Check there is no (known) proxy between you an the tah server.

• Check you can upload large files successfully to the tah server. (go to http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Upload/ and try uploading from there, watch for errors)

If that doesn't go through OK you have a (transparent) proxy somewhere between your client and the tah server which blocks file uploads larger than some preconfigured size. This size must be at least 24 MiB (24 * 1024^2^ Bytes) for t@h to work.

If this doesn't show any problems try running the client with the setting "Verbose=1" in the tilesAtHome.conf
and post the output.

the error is the "Read timeout"
Since the server runs ok for me (and apparently everyone else) the problem should be at your end.
Make sure you can use HTTP POST with more than 10 MB (24 MiB currently needed for t@h) for the payload. From here it seems you have some transparent proxy at your web hoster for http requests that is unable to handle POST requests over a certain limit (I think around 10 MB is the default for most implementations, but I don't know for sure)

I meant ISP instead of web hoster, sorry. Nevertheless this is something that worksforme, or wontfix. You have to contact your ISP, or otherwise make sure you can POST entities as large as 24 MiB.
This is not a problem of osmarender, nor tilesAtHome itself.
