I have built a tile server by following this instruction: https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/building-a-tile-server-from-packages/ and i have a problem.
When i test tile server using http://localhost/osm/slippymap.html, some tiles are pink. After zoom out and zoom in tiles are usually properly displayed.
I tried to run renderd in debugging mode. This is the sample output:

I've also tried to pre-render tiles for region. Command for pre-rendering is for example:
render_list -all -s /var/run/renderd/renderd.sock -x 34 -X 36 -y 20 -Y 21 -z 6 -Z 6
Pre-rendering process displays messages pasted below and i don't know if it is working still or not:
debug: init_storage_backend: initialising file storage backend at: /var/lib/mod_tile
Rendering client
Starting 1 rendering threads
Rendering all tiles from zoom 6 to zoom 6
Rendering all tiles for zoom 6 from (34, 20) to (36, 21)
Waiting for rendering threads to finish
I can't see new tiles in /var/lib/mod_tile after that process.
Why does it happen (pink tiles)? How can I prevent this?

Ok. It was a silly mistake with render_list (literal error)... It should be "--all" or "-a", not "-all". This option was not recognized (with no error message). The command was waiting for x y and z parameters from stdin. Using render_list in proper way solved my problem. Pink tiles don't appear after that.
