Description
When you have some configuration options inside a <VirtualHost>...</VirtualHost> block in Apache, and some others outside (e.g. in a Debian-type "conf_enabled/tileserver.conf" file), then things break and mod_tile reverts to default settings for some things. This is likely due to an issue with create_tile_config and merge_tile_config which I need to debug further.

Research direction
Start by tracing create_tile_config and merge_tile_config, comparing configuration supplied inside VirtualHost blocks with options in conf_enabled/tileserver.conf. Confirm how the per-server and per-virtualhost values are combined, and consider the issue complete when both sources retain their intended settings instead of reverting to defaults; no test file is named in the issue.
